Hackbat was designed specially for DEF CON 32 and source text references people who received it at DEF CON, but the public sources do not make it the official DEF CON 32 attendee badge or state a complete distribution quantity.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
