photo description typo · image source metadata · documented

The Commons/Flickr photo description contains the typo 'macjine code'; badge.gallery records the machine-code behavior in normalized wording while preserving the source title and provenance.

The image is still usable because the license, attribution, Flickr source, and review status are explicit; the typo is not treated as technical evidence beyond the intended machine-code description.

physical-archival status caveat · project docs · documented

The current source trail shows a complete project concept and extension design, but public recovery in this pass does not fully prove how broadly distributed Cyberwatch badges were or document a complete attendance-wide shipping ledger.

The dossier records what is sourced—badge architecture and shard concept—without over-claiming circulation or official distribution scope.

Source note: Cyberwatch project page and 39C3 codeberg documentation.

physical-artifact caveat · source-backed but incomplete · needs deeper artifact inventory

Public sources document the non-electronic badge plan, creator, SAO slot, and media-server add-on assets, but this pass does not inventory every badge type, physical material detail, Black Badge variant, attendee add-on, or final production artifact.

The catalogue records verified badge lineage and customization surfaces while leaving full physical artifact documentation for a later pass.

Source note: DEF CON call for badge designers, badge news, vendor profile, media-server badge assets, and InfoconDB badge-talk metadata.

physical-artifact caveat · source-backed but incomplete · needs deeper artifact inventory

Public sources document the non-electronic lens/layer concept, clue trail, badge-making talk, and black-badge collaborator note, but this pass does not inventory every physical lens, badge type, printed layer, clue, or final challenge solution.

The catalogue records verified badge lineage and interaction surfaces while leaving full artifact photography and challenge reconstruction for a later pass.

Source note: Mar Williams Art announcement, DEF CON creator-talk page, and DEF CON media-server badge directory.

planned badge caveat · official pre-event sources · pre-event

The DEF CON 34 record is seeded before the event from official preregistration, badge-alert, and SAO specification sources.

The catalogue can document the planned Human badge, official electronic-badge-year teaser, and public electronic interface constraints now, but it must not claim final shipped artwork, firmware, badge-game rules, manufacturing quantities, or all attendee-role variants until post-event sources appear.

Source note: DEF CON homepage, DEF CON 34 official shop page, DEF CON badge-alert post, and DC34 SAO spec PDF.

planned/pre-event classification · primary sources · awaiting post-event evidence

The 2026 entry is seeded before the conference because public ticketing and CFP sources already document badge inclusion, but no shipped-badge evidence exists yet.

The catalogue can track the upcoming Canberra lineage while avoiding claims about final badge hardware, firmware, production, or attendee delivery.

Source note: BSides Canberra 2026 Humanitix ticketing page and official CFP.

planned/pre-event identity-artifact classification · primary source · awaiting post-event evidence

The 2026 Adelaide record is based on pre-event CFP, current sponsorship-page, Humanitix, and sponsor-brief evidence for printing, lanyards, and badges, not a completed or distributed badge.

The catalogue can track the planned attendee badge/lanyard surface without claiming finished artwork, production, electronics, challenge behavior, or shipped distribution.

Source note: BSides Adelaide 2026 CFP, sponsorship page, Humanitix ticketing, and sponsor brief.

post-event archive boundary · official badge and event pages · needs deeper source recovery

CONFidence 2026 has happened and the official badge site now exposes a Badge Hub and media page, but no public schematic, PCB files, BOM, manufacturing archive, or full firmware repository has been recovered.

Hardware claims stay limited to the official component list and pinout table, and software claims stay limited to the official Badge Hub, package-hub, and stated firmware/challenge goals.

Source note: ConfiBadge 2026 page, hardware page, pinout page, Badge Hub, media page, CONFidence FAQ, PROIDEA event page, and official rules PDF.

post-event artifact-source gap · official source but artifact-incomplete · needs artifact-level archive

The public source trail advertises an electronic badge experience and the June 26-27, 2026 event date has passed, but this pass did not recover final shipped hardware, distribution scope, production quantity, or attendee handling detail.

The catalogue marks the record as source-backed but artifact-incomplete and should be refreshed if badge-team documentation appears.

Source note: BSides Porto official site and Eventbrite event page.

post-event media rights boundary · local image policy and post-event source review · documented without local image reuse

The LeccoOnline post-event report strengthens the event-context source trail but does not provide a reusable badge image license, attribution basis, and processing provenance for catalogue publication.

The record keeps the already-cleared MIT repository badge photo and does not copy post-event article media as an event-floor replacement.

Source note: LeccoOnline post-event report and badge.gallery image policy.

post-event release scope · repository release trail plus first-hand community post · post-event firmware release found; latest rechecked

The HFSDR repository release list still has v1.0 on 2026-04-29 and v1.1 on 2026-05-18 as of the 2026-05-21 recheck, but public sources still do not confirm shipped quantity, every final manufactured-unit revision, or official admission-badge status.

The record is stronger for firmware artifacts but remains classified as community/unofficial unless an official DEF CON source identifies it as the official conference badge.

Source note: HFSDR v1.0 and v1.1 release pages, GitHub API releases listing rechecked 2026-05-21, r/Defcon HFSDR preorder post, and DEF CON Singapore event page.

post-event source gap · official and post-event source wording · documented; monitor deeper archive

The official post intentionally withheld rear-side component details before attendees received the badge, and the later public trail improves the creator, firmware, tooling, and winner-write-up record without exposing board files, schematics, BOM, production files, final quantity, or full component identity.

The catalogue records only the official development-board, Hackplayers recap, and repository-backed RP2350/RISC-V challenge claims while withholding exact board-design and manufacturing claims.

Source note: h-c0n CTF BADge announcement, Hackplayers post-event write-up, and hcon2026hwctf repository.

post-event technical archive gap · official and public social sources · needs artifact-level source

The July 4, 2026 event has passed and public updates support badge pickup plus BLARGE electronic-badge support, but no final schematic, BOM, PCB file, firmware repository, component list, badge-team writeup, or teardown has been recovered.

The catalogue can treat the badge as post-event source-backed while still avoiding unsupported processor, display, radio, battery, firmware, and CTF-behavior claims.

Source note: BSides Brisbane 2026 prospectus, Humanitix ticketing, and LinkedIn updates.

power and minibadge caveat · primary documentation · documented

The badge README notes the badge lacks an on/off switch and tells owners to unplug the battery when not using it; the minibadge README warns that the 5 V rail may actually be battery voltage and asks minibadge makers to be conservative with power draw.

The record preserves operational and add-on-design constraints rather than presenting the badge as a frictionless reference platform.

Source note: SAINTCON 2018 badge README and minibadges README.

pre-event badge caveat · official ticket source · needs post-event confirmation

The current public evidence is pre-event ticket text, so this record does not claim final shipped hardware, final firmware, attendee delivery, or post-event challenge behavior.

The catalogue can preserve the limited PCB badge announcement while keeping final distribution and field behavior open for a post-event source pass.

Source note: SECCON official ticket page and event pages, checked 2026-05-21.

pre-event badge caveat · official page but future event · planned

Current official BSidesTLV pages place the 2026 conference on November 11, 2026, so the event has not happened yet as of this refresh; the Hardware Village page documents a Badge CTF Challenge but not shipped hardware.

The record should not claim shipped hardware, final challenge behavior, attendee distribution scope, or post-event outcomes until the event happens and artifact-level sources appear.

Source note: BSidesTLV 2026 home and Hardware Village pages.

pre-event coverage · current public event page · incomplete current record

Final hardware, firmware, photos, author credits, delivery status, and CTF/badge integration details are not public in the current source set; the official participant FAQ says badge details are expected closer to the camp.

The compendium can track the announced badge and challenge without inventing components, delivery outcomes, controversy, or authorship before the event ships.

Source note: RomHack 2026 event page, RomHack Camp participant FAQ, and RomHack Camp CTF page.

pre-event coverage · primary docs · detailed pre-event record

BornHack 2026 starts on July 15, 2026, so the current Badge.Team docs are pre-event even though they now document Cyber Ægg hardware, software concepts, source links, and sponsors in detail.

The entry can describe planned public specs, but must be revisited after the badge ships and attendees document field behavior, production errata, app maturity, and distribution outcomes.

Source note: BornHack 2026 event page, teams page, and Badge.Team Cyber Ægg docs rechecked on July 7, 2026.

pre-event source boundary · official event pages · planned

The current source set supports a planned Camp++ 2026 ticket-code, gate/reception, wristband, and Pretalx-coming-soon flow, but not a shipped electronic badge or post-event field report.

The page keeps the current Hungarian outdoor camp lineage visible while preventing pre-event logistics pages from being mistaken for delivered PCB badgelife.

Source note: Camp++ 2026 home, ticket, how-to, and CfP pages.

primary technical archive gap · credible secondary source but incomplete primary archive · needs official schematic or firmware recovery

The recovered source trail documents a NodeMCU ESP8266 handmade badge and badge-hack contest, but this pass did not recover an official 2018 schematic, PCB, BOM, firmware repository, or direct organizer badge writeup.

The record keeps component claims to the published NodeMCU ESP8266 detail and avoids assigning unverified display, battery, schedule, or CTF features.

Source note: Australian Cyber Security Magazine 2018 report and BSides Perth 2021 sponsor-pack retrospective.

privacy and sensor caveat · official research statement · documented

The study context involved VR goggles, physiological sensors, questionnaires, challenge activity, and researcher check-ins, with the recruitment statement explaining data collection and participant procedures.

The badge dossier preserves the research-study context while avoiding unrelated claims about public badge behavior, firmware, or attendee monitoring outside SaikoCTF participation.

Source note: HITB Recruitment statement.

privacy-sensitive ticketing · official ticketing page · documented

The ticket page says registration required no personal data, generated random ticket IDs were checked by the campsite, reception saw only the random ID, and submitted ticketing information would be destroyed by the end of the event.

This is useful lore for an identity-artifact dossier because the access marker deliberately minimized personal-data handling while satisfying campsite logistics.

Source note: Camp++ 2022 tickets page.

privacy-sensitive ticketing · official ticketing page · documented

The ticket page says registration required no personal data, random ticket IDs were shared with campsite reception for entry checking, and submitted ticketing information would be destroyed by the end of the event.

This is useful lore for an identity-artifact dossier because the access marker deliberately minimized personal-data handling while still satisfying campsite logistics.
