Issue dossier
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
The record retains documented engineering surfaces while withholding a complete implementation claim until Car Hacking Village publishes a final technical archive.
Evidence
Official Car Hacking Village CTF announcement for the on-premise DEF CON 34 challenge, USB/Ethernet tooling route, optional badge purchase, and five-badge CTF-participant allocation.
Official Car Hacking Village announcement for the DEF CON 34 badge, naming the RP2040, DB9 CAN 2.0/CAN FD support, interactive power management, and 12 V 1.5 A power supply. Its image is evidence only, not a reuse license.
Current official listing for the August 6-9, 2026 Las Vegas Convention Center programme. Checked after the scheduled dates; it advertises a CTF and new badge but does not report final manufacture, allocation, handoff, CTF execution, or firmware.
Official Car Hacking Village page listing its August 6-9, 2026 Las Vegas Convention Center DEF CON 34 presence and linking its 2026 programme context.
Official terms that define the DEF CON 34 sponsorship period through the event's August 9, 2026 conclusion. This confirms the scheduled endpoint only, not individual badge delivery or CTF outcomes.
Public Car Hacking Village repository for Python host-side CAN utilities for the DEF CON 34 CTF badge, including USB connection, CAN/CAN FD traffic, `python-can` integration, and setup material.
Source trail
Primary official source for the August 6-9, 2026 Las Vegas Convention Center Car Hacking Village presence at DEF CON 34.
Official sponsorship terms state that the DEF CON 34 event concludes August 9, 2026. This supports the planned event end date, not badge fabrication, allocation, handoff, firmware release, or CTF results.
Current official event listing checked after the August 6-9 dates. It advertises a CTF and new badge, but does not independently report completed delivery, CTF operation, final unit details, or image rights.
Official announcement source for the RP2040, DB9 CAN 2.0/CAN FD support, interactive power management, and 12 V 1.5 A power-supply claims. The linked post image does not establish reusable image rights.
Official announcement source for the announced on-premise-only CTF, Ethernet/USB tools, optional main-badge purchase, and five CTF-participant badges.
Primary public host-tool source identifying the project as utilities for the DEF CON 34 CHV CTF badge and documenting USB serial use, RP2040 USB detection, CAN/CAN FD tools, `python-can`, supported bitrates, and CAN FD handling. It is not a complete badge firmware or hardware-design archive.
