Shitty Kitty V2 (DEF CON 34) note

pre-event DEF CON 34 pickup and sales-state boundary · primary maker storefront source · awaiting DEF CON 34 outcome

The current $75 listing is marked OUT with zero remaining and 15 sold, says new stock is available for DEF CON 34 pickup, and lists DEF CON 34 as its drop. The event has not yet occurred, so this does not confirm final manufacture, physical pickup, recipient count, or post-event availability.

The catalogue records a source-backed sold-out pre-event offer without changing sales counters into a completed fulfillment report.

FirstBuild / GE Appliances Washer/Dryer Badge (DEF CON 34) note

pre-event allocation, availability, and credential boundary · official FirstBuild repository, DEF CON event source, and first-person public announcement · 100-free-badge daily giveaway announced; event outcome unverified

A public r/Defcon author says another 100 free badges are planned at the stated GE Appliances booth in IoT Village, with an unspecified number per day. The reviewed sources do not establish an exact daily allocation, dates or hours, eligibility, ticket tier, queue or pickup process, recipient list, final physical stock, completed giveaway, or the author's employment and official booth authority. DEF CON separately announces a Baochip Human badge, not this washer/dryer project.

The catalogue records the specific public 100-badge pre-event plan while treating the artifact as a distinct FirstBuild / GE Appliances project associated with DEF CON 34, not an official Human badge, universal attendee entitlement, registration credential, organizer-issued artifact, confirmed event availability, or completed distribution.

Source note: r/Defcon giveaway update, DEF CON 34 official site, FirstBuild repository, README, and Open-Source Distribution Guide.

Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress 2026 Digital Access Badge note

pre-event app, credential, and access workflow boundary · official app page · planned app and access function announced; page timing copy is internally ambiguous

The official page says the app will be available in September and calls the digital badge the essential key for access, but a lower section on the same page also says the new official BCC app is now available without a BCC26-specific release date or version. The congress has not yet occurred, and the reviewed sources do not resolve that timing wording or establish app publication, download availability, ticket qualification, enrollment, issuance, credential activation, access-control integration, venue acceptance, reliability, exception handling, support, revocation, or an attendee's completed entry.

The catalogue retains a precise planned access-artifact statement without presenting conflicting event-app copy as a delivered credential, universal entitlement, or verified access outcome.

NaClCON 2026 3D-Printed NFC Conference Badge note

pre-event artifact fulfillment gap · official inclusion pages and founder announcement · event completed; exact artifact fulfilment unpublished

Official pages promised a NaClCON Badge and CTF access, and the founder announced a 3D-printed/NFC conference badge before the event. A named attendee confirms the first convention happened, but the reviewed post-event sources do not directly confirm final fabrication, how many badges existed, attendee handoff, reuse, losses, replacements, variants, or whether the announced 3D-print/NFC form was delivered.

The record can preserve a concrete pre-event artifact claim without presenting planning language or an event-completion report as proof of universal delivery or a final production configuration.

Source note: NaClCON registration, schedule, founder announcement, and named attendee report.

Laser* Tag Badge DS (DEF CON 34) note

pre-event assembly and fulfillment boundary · maker page and public assembly update · awaiting DEF CON 34 outcome

The maker page calls the project a 2026 DEF CON 34 version and warns that production might not finish in time. A public late-July update says boards are in hand and final assembly/flashing is more than halfway complete, but no completed run, attendee delivery, quantity, or final fulfillment report is public.

The catalogue records a currently evidenced independent project and announced pickup path, not a confirmed delivered run, attendance-wide issue, final recipient count, or post-event game outcome.

Source note: Dani Weidman official maker page and public late-July assembly update.

Station 562 Badge (DEF CON 34) note

pre-event availability, distribution, and credential boundary · maker announcement and official event context · maker-stated limited plans; fulfillment unconfirmed

The project owner describes constrained giveaway, at-cost sale, and blank-board intentions for the conference but not final inventory, pricing, transaction method, pickup time/place, recipient list, manufacturer, delivery, refund, support, or completed handoff. DEF CON's official registration source does not identify Station 562 as issued, included, or authorized.

Station 562 is modelled as an independent pre-event BadgeLife project associated with DEF CON 34, not an organizer-issued Human badge, admission item, universal attendee benefit, or confirmed on-floor distribution.

NilbinSec DC34 Main Badge Fuzzer SAO note

pre-event availability, distribution, and fulfillment boundary · maker repository source only · public technical project documented; distribution outcome unreported

The public project repository was created in June and updated in July 2026, but the reviewed source does not specify a price, sales page, giveaway/drop plan, run size, inventory, recipient scope, pickup location/time, shipping, handoff, support, replacement, or post-event availability. The conference had not yet occurred during this source pass.

The catalogue records a real public project without portraying it as a completed physical distribution, a universally available SAO, a confirmed sale/giveaway, or a completed DEF CON handoff.

Helgatchi Badge (DEF CON 34) note

pre-event availability, shipment, pickup, and fulfillment boundary · maker product listing and current event timing · seller terms published; outcome not recovered

The live listing is on sale at $120 and publishes July pickup/shipping targets, but DEF CON 34 has not yet begun in this source pass. The listing does not prove final stock, orders, manufacture, carrier handoff, local collection, remote arrival, event attendance, refunds, replacements, support, or delivery to any particular holder.

Readers can distinguish an active maker listing and planned timeframes from a completed DEF CON distribution or a finished production report.

SECCON 2026 PCB Badge note

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

The badge evidence remains pre-event ticket text, so this record does not claim final shipped hardware, final firmware, attendee delivery, or post-event challenge behavior, even though the September 26, 2026 recheck marked the event itself completed on the official homepage photo gallery.

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

pre-event badge caveat · project-owner plan and official pre-event posts · planned

This record is built from the project-owner plan and official pre-event posts before the November 6-7, 2026 event and does not claim that the MK.II badge has shipped.

The catalogue can track the announced lineage while keeping all final hardware, software, distribution, and production claims open until post-event sources appear.

BSidesTLV 2026 Alice Controller Badge note

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; the September 22, 2026 organizer repository documents the full Alice Controller design, but fabrication, handout, and final challenge outcomes remain future claims.

The record should not claim shipped hardware, final challenge behavior, attendee distribution scope, or post-event outcomes until the event happens, even though the organizer design archive is public.

Hackaday Supercon 2026 Planned Badge note

pre-event badge, hardware, and fulfilment boundary · official Hackaday announcements · planned; event not yet held

Official Hackaday sources confirm that the tenth in-person Supercon will include a hackable badge described as bigger this year and, per the October 23 podcast, built around screens, but the event has not occurred and no reviewed source publishes a controller, board, display model, radio, power system, connector, artwork, firmware, repository, license, production quantity, ticket-tier eligibility, pickup or shipping flow, or final handoff.

The catalogue preserves the organizer-confirmed planned badge without presenting teaser language as a hardware specification, a completed build, or an attendee-wide delivery record.

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

The public record names ambitions and project phases plus a Badge.Team KiCad design that reached a prototype-1 fabrication package on October 22, 2026 and a tagged prototype-1 release on October 24, but no production hardware release, official firmware, app ecosystem, production run, or shipped badge.

pre-event drop, production, and fulfillment boundary · first-party product and first-hand maker announcement · listing is sold out; event/drop outcome unconfirmed

The marketplace is currently out with 25 sold and no remaining units, and Lepi Labs announces scheduled drops. These source states do not establish final manufacture, exact drop allocation, payment completion, physical stock, handoff, shipment, delivery, refund, replacement, or post-event support outcome.

The catalogue preserves a real current offer without claiming a completed DEF CON distribution or fulfilled collector population.

Volatile Organic Canary SAO (DEF CON 34) note

pre-event drop, production, remediation, and fulfillment boundary · first-party product and first-hand maker announcement · listing is sold out; event/drop outcome unconfirmed

The marketplace is currently out with 11 sold and no remaining units, and Lepi Labs announces scheduled drops. The listing also states a possible pre-event refund or after-event-shipping remedy if prototype issues persist. None of that proves final manufacture, allocated stock, exact drop quantity, payment completion, defect resolution, receipt, refund, shipping, delivery, or support outcome.

The catalogue preserves current offer and remediation language without converting it into a completed DEF CON distribution report.

UPDeeDeeI SAO (DEF CON 34) note

pre-event drop, production, revision, and fulfillment boundary · first-party product and first-hand maker announcement · listing is sold out; v1.1 and event outcome unconfirmed

The marketplace is currently out with seven sold and no remaining units, and Lepi Labs announces scheduled drops. The listing says v1.1 boards were ordered and describes a possible refund or after-event-shipping remedy if issues persist. This does not prove final manufacture, v1.1 validation, drop stock, payment completion, correction outcome, handoff, refund, shipping, delivery, or support outcome.

The catalogue retains current offer and remedy language without claiming completed distribution or a finalized production run.

Cyb3rBytes404 Cyber-Cat Badge (DEF CON 34) note

pre-event giveaway, allocation, and fulfillment boundary · first-person maker post · small-batch non-sale giveaway announced; outcome unverified

The maker says the run is small, not for sale, and intended for random giveaway throughout ‘the con,’ but publishes no quantity, build-completion record, eligibility, allocation method, dates/times, pickup point, recipient list, delivery, loss/replacement terms, or post-event confirmation.

The entry records a planned independent distribution model without presenting an announced free giveaway as manufactured stock, a confirmed recipient benefit, a completed DEF CON handoff, or a public fulfillment ledger.

Source note: Another badge drop.

BSides Mumbai 2026 Badge Pickup note

pre-event identity-artifact classification · official provisional programme · planned pickup documented; credential form unspecified

The official programme schedules badge pickup but does not identify a physical or digital form, material, lanyard, printed design, barcode, QR code, RFID/NFC, electronics, PCB, component set, software, manufacture, or final variant.

The record is deliberately modeled as a planned generic identity artifact, not an electronic badge or a more specific credential unsupported by the public schedule.

Not Just a Crosswalk SAO (DEF CON 34) note

pre-event manufacture, acquisition, and DEF CON association boundary · maker-owned public repository · planned source project; event outcome unconfirmed

The maker-owned repository explicitly frames the project for DEFCON 34, but no reviewed source states a final fabrication run, price, seller, quantity, acquisition method, pickup/drop, recipient, delivered unit, schedule appearance, or post-event result. It also does not identify DEF CON as the project organizer or say the SAO includes registration or access.

The catalogue records a real, explicitly DC34-associated public design without upgrading it into an official badge, a conference credential, a completed physical distribution, or a sale/fulfillment claim.

The store says pre-orders are closed and badges will be sold at DEF CON, while describing the party as free and the badge as optional. Gothcon and DEF CON 34 have not yet occurred at this source pass, so the listing does not confirm final build count, DEF CON sale availability, delivery, party attendance, or fundraiser outcome.

The current offer is scheduled for August 7-9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and says pickup only at the BTV Infobooth, with no refunds after August 10.

The roster says the current event sale is approximately $35 through Hacker Warehouse, while the live Tindie listing displays $30. The event had not yet occurred in this source pass, and neither source identifies shared stock, units, sales completion, availability at a particular booth, payment, recipient/buyer allocation, pickup, shipping, replacement, warranty, or support.

The catalogue preserves both published price contexts without treating either as a completed transaction, guaranteed inventory, final price, DEF CON entitlement, or delivery outcome.

Original Series Tricorder Badge (DEF CON 34) note

pre-event sales, price, allocation, and fulfillment boundary · maker self-submission · approximately $125 channel announced; outcome unconfirmed

The roster says the current Original Series Tricorder badge will be sold on-site through Hacker Warehouse for approximately $125, but the event had not yet begun. The source does not establish seller inventory, booth location, final price, units, payment, buyer allocation, pickup, shipping, delivery, replacement, refund, support, warranty, or a completed retail arrangement.

The catalogue records an announced acquisition path rather than a completed sale, guaranteed stock, organizer-provided benefit, or delivered item.

SAINTCON 2026 Planned Electronic Badge note

pre-event specification boundary · official 2026 sources · planned

Official evidence confirms a 2.54 mm MiniBadge-socket interface and electronic sponsor-ticket category, but no final 2026 MCU, PCB, schematic, connector count, electrical pinout, display, battery, firmware, programming workflow, challenge specification, or manufacturing archive was recovered.

The dossier exposes the real planned badge surface while preventing teaser language and generic MiniBadge-standard documentation from becoming unsupported 2026 hardware or software claims.
