Not just specs
Issues & Camp Impact
Safety warnings, delivery problems, app-store gaps, team-process history, and first-hand reports are tracked as sourced records.
web installer dependency · primary docs · historical
The install workflow was accessible for many users, but the compendium records it as an ecosystem dependency rather than firmware alone.
Source note: SHA2017 wiki and Hack42 WebUSB installer.
wireless-game caveat · primary game log · documented
The catalogue records the game mechanics without implying a real-world botnet or harmful network capability beyond the badge ecosystem described by the project owners.
Source note: AND!XOR BOTNET game log.
withheld puzzle files · source-backed · documented
Future archive work should seek official or creator permission before treating private Gerbers, puzzle art, or code meanings as publishable catalogue evidence.
Source note: Hackaday.io Official Toorcon Badge? log.
workshop errata · source-backed · documented
The record preserves the badge as a real workshop artifact with teachable hardware mistakes rather than hiding production friction.
Source note: Building the Ruxcon 2015 Hardware Hacking Badge PDF.
workshop errata · source-backed · documented
The catalogue records the badge as a real workshop artifact with documented assembly hazards rather than a frictionless production object.
Source note: RuxBadge instruction sheet.
workshop kit dependency · official event page and designer writeup · historical
The badge experience depended on workshop readiness instead of only passive distribution; that is useful context for anyone comparing camp-badge accessibility.
Source note: OSHCamp 2023 event page and OSHCamp23 Badge writeup.
workshop supply caveat · official wiki · historical
This records the logistical side of early badge workshops: kits, batteries, and replacement parts shaped the attendee experience.
Source note: EH2010 badge wiki Teileliste and Inbetriebnahme sections.
workshop-firmware caveat · repository documentation · documented
The software section separates the recoverable ESP-IDF workshop code from any unrecovered event firmware or private production tooling.
Source note: firmware README and firmware/main/main.c.
workshop-scope caveat · official workshop page · documented
The catalogue treats the board as a limited attendee-retained workshop artifact, not a village-wide or DEF CON-wide attendee badge.
Source note: Aerospace Village DEF CON 33 workshop schedule.
wristband evidence boundary · official ticket-prices page · documented
The record preserves the wristband planning signal while avoiding unsupported claims about a specific worn artifact.
Source note: CampZer0 ticket-prices page.
year-specific source gap · source-limited · open
The record avoids importing 2020 or 2022 technical details into 2021 without a year-specific source.
Source note: InfoconDB RVAsec 2021 and HackRVA badge overview.
zap-mode operation caveat · primary README and firmware · documented
User-facing wording preserves the practical safety boundary around operating surviving badges or reproductions.
