Issue dossier
The maker uses DEF CON 34 presale language and the public Badgelife row identifies the Portal Gun SAO, but no reviewed source says DEF CON issued it, includes it with registration, grants admission, replaces a Human badge, has organizer endorsement, is required for BadgeLife, or has verified venue authorization.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.

independent DEF CON association and credential boundary · maker page and public Badgelife self-submission · independent planned SAO associated with DEF CON 34
The catalogue records a source-backed independent event association without portraying the SAO as official conference hardware, a credential, access item, universal attendee handout, or completed official distribution.

official maker/seller page
Maker-operated DEF CON 34 page with a limited-presale context and a $20 Portal-gun companion card that describes blue portal, orange/red portal, and off modes plus interaction with the year's Portal Badge. The page does not print the roster's exact `PORTAL gun SAO` label, so its mapping is used together with the public Badgelife roster; page media do not state reusable-image rights.

public Badgelife self-submission roster
Public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response from BigFuckingBadge that names a new PORTAL gun SAO, marks it as an SAO, gives a $20 price, says touching its end changes animated colors, says it interacts with the PORTAL Badge, and links the public hardware/code repositories. It is a submitter-provided pre-event association, not official DEF CON issuance, final sale/delivery proof, final revision documentation, third-party-IP permission, or image-reuse permission.

public firmware-source repository
Public Hexum064 firmware repository, also carrying the `dc33` name, with a PFC161 directory, Makefile, Easy PDK material, build directory, and C source. No README, release, or explicit root LICENSE/COPYING file was identified in the reviewed root; publication does not establish final production parity, reproducibility, support, or permission to republish media.
Badge: Portal Gun SAO (DEF CON 34)
public hardware-source repository
Public Hexum064 hardware repository whose name carries a `dc33` lineage marker and whose root/tree include PFC161 hardware, KiCad board/schematic/project files, BOM/position data, Gerbers, acrylic material, backups, and source image files. It is a useful implementation trail, not proof that the archive is a new, unmodified, fabricated, safe, compatible, delivered, or explicitly licensed 2026 production package.

public touch and LED interaction source
Published PFC161 C source defining a four-pixel RGB-color buffer, blue/orange/off state values, a 470 pF touch-capacitor note, touch initialization/baseline/threshold logic, and timer-driven LED updates. It is source-level behavior evidence, not proof of exact final colors, physical LEDs, touch construction, host interaction, every-unit behavior, safety, accessibility, or end-user support.

Primary maker/seller source for the DEF CON 34 limited-presale setting and the $20 Portal-gun companion card describing blue, orange/red, and off modes plus interaction with the year's Portal Badge. The card lacks the exact `PORTAL gun SAO` text, so it is paired with the roster; it does not establish official DEF CON status, final stock/delivery, source revision, hardware specifications, third-party-IP authorization, or image reuse permission.

BigFuckingBadge / Hexum064 via public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response sheet · retrieved 2026-05-15
Primary public self-submission source for a new SAO named PORTAL gun SAO, its $20 price, touch-end animated-color behavior, stated Portal Badge interaction, and linked public hardware/firmware repositories. It establishes an intended independent BadgeLife association, not DEF CON organizer issuance, admission, final manufacture/sale/handoff, testing, compatibility, franchise authorization, or image reuse rights.

Primary implementation source for PFC161 headers, four-pixel RGB state buffers, blue/orange/off source patterns, 470 pF touch-capacitor note, touch baseline/threshold logic, and timer-driven LED output. It supports source-level touch/color behavior but not final hardware population, exact public color selection, every-unit functionality, host protocol, safety/accessibility, third-party-IP rights, or user-facing support claims.

Primary public hardware-tree source for PFC161/portal-gun directories, KiCad board and schematic/project material, BOM/position files, Gerbers, acrylic material, and backups. Its `dc33` repository name is a lineage clue, not direct proof of which earlier event/edition shipped, nor of 2026 board revision, fabrication, electrical safety, host compatibility, delivery, or a license grant.

GitHub / Hexum064 · retrieved 2026-05-15
Primary public firmware-tree source for a PFC161 build directory with Makefile, Easy PDK material, and C implementation. The reviewed root did not visibly expose a README, release, or explicit LICENSE/COPYING file, so it evidences a public development/reuse trail rather than a final supported/open-source product release.
