Issue dossier
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
The edition is not marked completed and the record does not assert that every attendee received the badge.
Evidence
Seven-page deck headed MN CERT/CC 2026 describing the badge's Badge Cloud Wi-Fi link, controls, startup sequence, navigation screens, and the 14-booth Stamp Passport prize draw.
Back board render showing the horseman artwork, the badge verse, a two-pin connector, and the Designed, assembled in Mongolia by Beelog credit. Linked only; no reuse licence is published.
Front board render showing the ESP32-C3 SuperMini-style module, display, two RGB LEDs, buzzer, vibration motor, joystick, two buttons, and MNSEC 2026 silkscreen. Linked only; no reuse licence is published.
Official MNCERT/CC site for the September 24, 2026 thirteenth MNSEC at the Shangri-La Ulaanbaatar, the Security Beyond Human Scale theme, the Haruul Zangi CTF, and the hardware village. The September 29 and 30, 2026 checks found it still in pre-event wording with a zeroed countdown and no badge mention.
Official sponsor page for the 24 September 2026 date, Shangri-La Ulaanbaatar venue, and an expected 450-500 attendees; it does not mention badges or booth stamps.
Public repository described as badge documentation, created and populated on September 28, 2026 by the same helicopteresdc / DavgaBeelog maintainer as the MNSEC2025BADGE archive. It holds the user-guide deck and two board renders, no licence, and no schematic, Gerber, or firmware files.
Source trail
Primary user-facing source for the badge controls, Wi-Fi Badge Cloud behaviour, navigation screens, and the 14-booth Stamp Passport with phone-number-keyed staff stamping and prize draw. The PDF was created September 23, 2026, before the event, so it documents intended behaviour rather than observed on-site use.
Official source for the date, venue, and 450-500 expected attendees; it establishes event scale only, not badge allocation.
Primary official event source for the thirteenth edition, the September 24, 2026 date, the Shangri-La Ulaanbaatar venue, the theme, and MNCERT/CC as organizer. It still reads pre-event after the elapsed date and does not mention the badge.
Primary artifact archive for the 2026 badge documentation, uploaded September 28, 2026 by the maintainer of the already-seeded MNSEC 2025 badge archive. It has no licence and publishes no design files, so it supports the badge's existence and user-facing design but not production, quantity, or distribution.
