Issue dossier
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying DEF CON archive photography without complete rights clearance.
Evidence
VICE/Motherboard history placing the first DEF CON electronic badge at DEF CON 14 in 2006, supporting DEF CON 8's conservative non-electronic classification.
InfoconDB source for the July 28-30, 2000 DEF CON 8 dates, Alexis Park Resort venue, official page link, and program/archive references.
Official DEF CON page preserving the post-event context, admission-price note, picture-archive links, and conference schedule context.
Official media-server photo-set listing used to verify attendee lanyard-credential images.
Official media-server directory for DEF CON 8 pictures, including the unsorted event-photo set and contact sheet.
Official scanned program PDF preserved in the DEF CON media archive for event-program context.
Official archive JPEG showing attendees wearing DEF CON 8 lanyard credentials; used only as artifact evidence and not republished because the EXIF/media-server copyright and attribution trail do not satisfy the site's image policy.
Source trail
Official scanned program PDF preserved in the DEF CON media archive; used for event-program context rather than OCR-backed badge claims.
Official post-event page for DEF CON 8, used for event context, admission-cost/no-pre-registration context, and picture-archive trail.
Official archive image evidence for attendees wearing physical DEF CON 8 lanyard credentials; used for visible artifact description only, not as a local published image.
Official media-server directory for the DEF CON 8 picture archive.
Official photo-set listing preserving attendee images from DEF CON 8.
Event-context source for DEF CON 8 dates, official-page and program links, admission price, and Alexis Park Resort venue metadata.
Secondary context source stating that DEF CON 14 in 2006 was the first electronic DEF CON badge, supporting the non-electronic classification of DEF CON 8.
