Issue dossier
Packet Hacking Village's official programme establishes the completed village and Friend or Foe talk, while the maker repository describes the badge and a 45-unit DEF CON run. Neither reviewed official village or DEF CON source says it designed, issued, funded, sold, distributed, or endorsed the badge; neither says it was an attendee-wide handout, registration benefit, admission credential, or a completed recipient ledger.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
