Issue dossier
The recovered account establishes an electronic, hackable CTF badge but names no MCU, board, display, LEDs, radio, power system, connector, schematic, BOM, fabrication files, firmware, source, binary, app, protocol, toolchain, license, update path, or maker.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.

current official series home
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
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.

Named post-event account documenting PWNEDCR 0x08 on October 18-19, 2025 at the Auditorio Nacional / Centro Costarricense de Ciencia y Cultura in San José; it describes an electronic badge, badge hacking during the CTF, and hidden Easter eggs/challenges. It is sufficient evidence of the real artifact and event context, but not a hardware, firmware, badge-maker, allocation, delivery, or reusable-image archive.
