Organizer-controlled PWNEDCR home reviewed on 2026-08-04. It is currently the PWNEDCR 0x9 site, so it establishes live series continuity only and does not preserve a historical 0x08 event page, badge archive, maker credit, technical release, allocation record, or image-reuse basis.

named post-event account

Best of PWNEDCR 0x08

Fluid Attacks' named post-event account is the recovered artifact-level source for PWNEDCR 0x08. It documents the 2025 event context, a physical electronic badge that attendees hacked through the CTF, and hidden Easter eggs/challenges. It publishes no technical archive or badge-maker credit; its generic Unsplash skull visual is not a factual badge photo or reusable-image basis.
