BSides Cheltenham 2024 UFO Badge
ATtiny402 UFO PCB badge with source-described activity material
An electronic PCB badge identified by Punk Security's public source archive as the UFO badge for BSides Cheltenham 2024. Its repository preserves EAGLE, Gerber, Arduino firmware, vector-art, 3D-case, and activity-booklet material, and names an ATtiny402, button, CR2032 clip, and 5050 NeoPixel. The archive says the activity booklet was given out on the day. Punk Security's historical event timeline separately says it was the badge sponsor and had UFO badges, but currently renders that entry with an inconsistent early-2023 timestamp; the record therefore uses the repository's explicit 2024 badge identity without inventing an exact date or venue. The reviewed sources do not establish organizer-side 2024 confirmation, production quantity, attendee allocation, individual handoff, final unit-by-unit configuration, activity participation or outcome, safety validation, or reusable image provenance.
BSides Newcastle 2024 Plant Badge
Little Shop of Horrors ATtiny402 soil-sensor PCB badge
An electronic PCB badge documented by its maker and badge sponsor, Punk Security, for BSides Newcastle 2024. Punk Security's own dated event listing identifies its October 5 Newcastle appearance as that year's badge-sponsor engagement and says Simon Gurney presented the making of the conference badge. The public `bsides-newcastle-2024-badge` archive calls the artifact the Little Shop of Horrors Plant Badge, says it was given out at BSides Newcastle, and describes it as a working soil sensor. It preserves EAGLE, EasyEDA, Gerber, firmware, board-image, and schematic material, and names an ATtiny402, button, CR2032 clip, 5050 NeoPixel, and 6.8 kΩ resistor. The reviewed sources do not establish organizer-side 2024 confirmation, venue, production quantity, attendee allocation, individual handoff, final unit-by-unit configuration, measurement performance, safety validation, or reusable image provenance.

Dante's Inferno Badge (DEF CON 32)
Independent three-board LED badge with a later DEF CON 33 vendor-list trail
redactd's Tindie listing introduces Dante's Inferno as an electronic badge just in time for DefCon 32, inspired by the Dante's Inferno Room. It describes three connected circuit boards, special two-color solder mask on the top two boards, sixty LEDs, an included CR123A battery, a populated SAO v1.69bis port, custom-printed box, laser-cut foam insert, and lanyard. The same maker's public repository documents a USB/UF2 firmware-update procedure and a July 2024 v1.1 release for pre-sale 1.0/1.01 units. A Hacker Couture DEFCON 33 product list later repeats the $100 product and core three-board, sixty-LED, CR123A, and SAO claims. Together, these sources establish one source-backed independent 2024 DEF CON 32 artifact with a later 2025 vendor-list recurrence, not an official DEF CON credential, a second DC33 badge, confirmed distribution at either event, a complete electrical design, a licensed source-code archive, or reusable-image rights.

Retia DEF CON 32 Badge
Retrospectively documented independent ESP32-S3 electronic badge
Retia, LLC's public repository is currently named `DefconBadge2026`, but its immutable first source-release commit calls the project `DEF CON badge (2024)` and its README is titled `DEF CON Badge (2024) — ESP32-S3`. That source snapshot includes KiCad and fabrication material named `2024_def_con_badge_v1`, a badge photograph, and high-level hardware documentation. The official DEF CON archive identifies the 2024 event as DEF CON 32, so the record is attached to that existing edition as a retrospectively documented independent artifact; neither Retia nor DEF CON source reviewed here calls it an official Human badge, an attendee entitlement, or a confirmed event handoff.
39C3 Critical Decentralization Cluster Badge
Open-hardware ESP32-S3 / TROPIC01 assembly badge and devboard
The Critical Decentralization Cluster's CDC Badge was presented as an electronic conference badge and development board at the completed 39th Chaos Communication Congress.

The sources do not establish a production quantity, attendee allocation, individual handoff, final unit-by-unit configuration, safety validation, or reusable image provenance.
BSides Peoria 2025 HackTheBadge Challenge Badge
Maker-published one-off ESP32 badge-challenge device
A source-bounded independent BSides Peoria 2025 challenge-badge dossier. Technet8394's event-period public HackTheBadge README calls the work "My ESP32 code for the BSides Peoria Badge Challenge 2025." Its later source release documents an ESP32, a 240×320 ILI9341 TFT panel, two batteries, and wiring. BSides Peoria's official 2025 announcement establishes the October 25 Bradley University event, and its 2026 organizer retrospective says the prior edition drew nearly 350 people and had electronic badges. No reviewed organizer source links this specific maker project to a main attendee badge, official issuance, or completed handoff, so the catalogue keeps it as an independent event-associated challenge device.
BSides Perth 2025 ESP32 TFT Badge
Attendee-assembled ESP32 DevKit / 1.8-inch TFT challenge badge
The public BSides Perth 2025 badge archive and its assembly documentation identify a physical, attendee-assembled custom-PCB artifact built around an ESP32 DOIT DevKit v1, 1.8-inch LCD TFT, four tactile buttons, headers, and Micro-USB power. The archive also documents a virtual companion and challenge context, but it was published in September-October 2025 and does not prove that every event attendee received the same physical configuration.

Czech Security BSides PCB badge with attendee chip challenges
A source-backed Czech Security BSides electronic badge record: the official BSides Prague 2025 schedule page announced a PCB badge powered by multiple processors, and a first-hand organizer retrospective documents the first generation of electronic badges, attendee chips, challenge XP, interactive panels, and nickname display.
BSides Vancouver 2025 Electronic Badge
ESP32-C3/NFC electronic badge with first-party binaries and later public source
BSides Vancouver's official 2025 badge page calls the artifact an electronic badge, links its first-party programming bundle, and directs firmware information to a public project archive. That archive documents a 2025 REV 2 board and a public firmware refactor committed in 2026, so this record separates the completed 2025 artifact from the later source-tree revision.
BSidesTLV 2025 Infinity Glove Electronic Badge
Israeli limited hardware CTF badge
BSidesTLV's official 2025 badge page documents The Infinity Glove, a limited pre-order electronic badge sold with BSidesTLV 2025 entry, picked up on site, and framed as a custom-designed hardware CTF with hidden puzzles and badge-holder-only stages.

FightDystopia 2025 Badge (DEF CON 33)
Independent ESP32-S3 party badge with a scheduled DC33 BadgeLife drop
BigTaro's Tindie listing calls FightDystopia 2025 an electronic party badge, prices it at $150, and displays an out-of-stock state that says it has been sold out since August 11, 2025. The maker says it detects a user-defined list of BLE MAC addresses to give a heads-up about what is around the user; includes a CTF with Windows Vista-era throwbacks, hardware and software puzzles, unlockable bling and GIFs, two custom PCBs sandwiching a screen for a retro-TV aesthetic, an ESP32-S3-based fully-programmable claim, twelve RGB LEDs, a custom lanyard, and stickers. The DEF CON 33 Creator Events List independently schedules a Friday BadgeLife Community drop naming FightDystopia alongside Submarine and FrogStar. This establishes a source-backed independent 2025 electronic artifact and scheduled event association, not an official DEF CON credential, universal or completed handout, BLE detection mechanism, security or privacy assurance, firmware source release, party-benefit accounting, or reusable-image rights.
Flutter & Friends 2025 E-Paper Conference Badge
NFC-updatable passive four-color e-paper developer-conference badge
Flutter & Friends' organizer-published conference-app source added a Friends Badge editor on August 30, 2025: users could select an image, preview it with dithering, and write it to the conference badge through NFC. The companion `friends_badge` package explicitly describes control of the Flutter & Friends e-paper conference badge, and its implemented target profile is a passive four-color e-paper device. The source-backed record establishes a real event-linked electronic artifact at the completed Stockholm conference, but does not establish that every attendee received one, that it served as admission, or what final physical units contained.
FrogStar Badge (DEF CON 33)
Unofficial electronic badge with a documented DEF CON 33 BadgeLife drop schedule
BigTaro's FrogStar 2025 project page calls FrogStar an unofficial DEFCON badge, and the DEF CON 33 Creator Events List schedules a BadgeLife Community Table 1 drop that explicitly names the FrogStar Badge alongside two other BigTaro artifacts. The maker page identifies a Raspberry Pi RP2350, 1.28 inch GC9A01 240 by 240 round LCD, two SAO V1.69bis ports, addressable WS2812B RGB LEDs, an infrared receiver, six buttons, frog-themed CTF and game framing, and a Firmware v1.0 UF2 download with a copy-to-flash instruction. A Tindie listing separately calls it an electronic badge and says it was a Defcon pickup preorder; a later Uberflux listing shows an $80 / seven-sold / 23-remaining snapshot, a DEF CON 34 drop label, and $11 USPS Flat Rate shipping. These sources establish a real independent electronic artifact and a scheduled 2025 event association, not a confirmed completed handout, official DEF CON issuance, admission, exact production count, completed later fulfillment, firmware source release, or reusable-image rights.
GigaGeiger Badge (DEF CON 33)
Independent ESP32-S3 Wi-Fi monitoring and foxhunt badge sold for DEF CON 33
HackMy*'s maker storefront labels GigaGeiger a Wi-Fi badge for DEF CON 33 and shows a USD 120 price with a sold-out-since-August 6, 2025 state. The same listing describes a retro Geiger-counter-inspired device with a single rotary dial for 2.4 GHz channel monitoring, MAC-address foxhunting, and browser-based firmware flashing; it says the product shipped with a lanyard and batteries. Its linked public Penzz-HM repository publishes an MIT-licensed Arduino/C++ implementation for an ESP32-S3-WROOM, GC9A01 display, rotary input, Wi-Fi scanning, promiscuous-mode packet counting, RSSI tracking, and a local web updater, plus firmware binaries, Gerbers, and enclosure STL files. A separately published GigaGeiger PCB project on PCBWay is dated June 25, 2025, names Matt Wagner, provides Gerbers, and is marked CC BY-SA. These sources establish a real independent 2025 BadgeLife artifact and a public design trail, not official DEF CON issuance, admission, a completed event handoff, a complete electrical specification, universal radio/OTA safety, or a rights-cleared hero image.
Gunslinger-B-Gone Badge and Sheriff SAO Combo (DEF CON 33)
Independent IR game/TV-control badge and Sheriff SAO combo listed for DEF CON 33
BigTaro's Tindie page calls Gunslinger-B-Gone an electronic badge with laser tag, a TV-B-Gone, a CTF, and an included Sheriff SAO; the page shows $100 and says it has been sold out since September 13, 2025. A separate Hacker Couture DEFCON 33 Product List independently lists a Gunslinger-B-Gone Badge by BigTaro at $140 and describes laser-tag play with the Sheriff SAO, making friends' badges light up, pointing an IR blast at a TV to power it down, CTF challenges, bling modes, Drinking Roulette, and a fully-programmable claim. BigTaro's Sheriff guide identifies the Sheriff companion as an RP2040-chip board, documents a CR2032 or LIR2032 battery holder with magnet and sticky pad, an independent battery switch, a standalone/wearable configuration, and an optional soldered SAO connection to the Gunslinger with the notch side up. These sources establish a real independent electronic-badge combo and a 2025 DEF CON vendor-list association, not a BadgeLife drop, official DEF CON issue, admission credential, complete IR or electrical specification, confirmed vendor handoff, firmware source release, or reusable-image rights.
MNSEC 2025 Electronic Badge Collection
Completed 418-unit, three-variant MNCERT/CC electronic-badge collection
A completed MNSEC 2025 electronic-badge collection commissioned by MNCERT/CC and documented by Beelog Technologies. Beelog's public project page states that it designed, manufactured, and developed 418 electronic badges for MNCERT/CC; the public MNSEC2025BADGE archive identifies the order with the September cybersecurity conference, says three badge types were completed, and preserves Gerber, schematic, firmware, example-code, and supporting-material directories. The sources do not establish attendee allocation, a per-unit delivery record, final unit-by-unit configuration, safety validation, or reusable image provenance.
Masonic33 Indie Puzzle Badge (DEF CON 33)
Independent ATtiny1616 analog-input puzzle badge with a scheduled DC33 drop and current DC34 continuity
Hak4Kidz Lab's Tindie listing calls Masonic33 a cryptic, interactive badge for puzzle lovers, hackers, and DEF CON attendees. It says two 10 kΩ potentiometers control an ATtiny1616-based board with eleven independently controlled LEDs; players tune analog inputs to unlock a hidden LED sequence and solve four puzzles. The listing also names a UPDI-compatible one-wire programming interface, 4.5 V AAA-battery input with batteries included, a 4.25-inch black-solder-mask/white-silkscreen PCB, custom VHS-style box, patches, lanyard, and stickers. A recovered public DEF CON 33 schedule records a 10:30-10:59 PDT BadgeLife Community Masonic33 Badge drop credited to Heal-Hak4Kidz, while the Hacker Couture DEFCON 33 product list separately shows the Masonic33 Badge at $125. Badge.Life's live DC34 Village Schedule additionally lists Masonic33 Badge — heal at 10:30 AM on Friday August 7 and 11:00 AM on Saturday August 8, 2026, without naming a changed board or revision. These sources establish a real independent 2025 puzzle badge with planned 2026 continuity, not official DEF CON issuance, admission, a confirmed completed drop, a separate DC34 artifact, a complete circuit/firmware archive, a connection to any fraternal organization, or reusable-image rights.
NolaCon 2025 Patches Badge
Voodoo Heart electronic badge and Learn to Solder artifact
NolaCon 2025's Patches badge continued the conference's Learn to Solder badge tradition, with the official badge page presenting Patches as a customizable Voodoo Heart-series character whose limbs, LEDs, and personal flair could make each build unique.
PWNEDCR 0x08 Electronic Badge
Hackable electronic CTF badge with a source-depth caveat
A conservative PWNEDCR 0x08 record: a named post-event account says the October 18-19, 2025 San José conference used a hackable electronic badge as part of its CTF, with hidden Easter eggs and challenges. It supports the reality of a physical electronic badge but publishes no component, firmware, maker, production, or reusable-image documentation.
ROOTCON 19 Badge
Philippine electronic badge and Type-B fallback record
A ROOTCON 19 badge-distribution record documenting electronic badges distributed first-come at on-site check-in, guaranteed electronic badges for Human+ and Blackcard attendees, and a simpler non-electronic Type-B badge fallback.
RVAsec 2025 Badge
Official limited Custom Hack.RVA Electronic badge package record
The RVAsec 2025 badge is seeded from the official RVAsec 14 registration page, which listed a guaranteed hotel package with a custom RVAsec challenge coin and a Custom Hack.RVA Electronic badge while supplies lasted. No public 2025 hardware repository, firmware tree, schematic, BOM, or final badge photo provenance was recovered in this pass.
Recon Village DC33 The Cyber Owl Badge
Cyber Vigilance owl badge
Recon Village's DEF CON 33 badge entry, The Cyber Owl, was a cyberpunk owl electronic badge with intricate mechanical detail, metallic blue-gray finish, and glowing pink LED eyes.
Red Team Summit 2025 Electronic Badge
First electronic badge in summit history
Red Team Summit's official history identifies the March 11-12, 2025 Redmond event as the first Red Team Summit with an electronic badge. The same historical record gives 194 attendees, 61 organizations, and 108 CFP submissions, but does not describe the badge's physical form, technology, maker, or recipient scope.
SAO Many SAOs Badge (DEF CON 33)
Independent 25-slot Simple Add-On host badge; later DEF CON 34 roster continuity
Coruscant Ventures' official SAO Many SAOs Badge page identifies the object as a DEFCON 33 product, presents it as a 25-design Simple Add-On display platform, and says its outer LEDs require the separate SmartAO SAO. The maker's public technical README says the badge has two pre-installed 18650 batteries, USB and barrel-connector power/charging paths, up to 25 SAO slots, and an approximately 300 mA at 3.3 V total SAO budget when using charged batteries. A July 2026 public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response marks SaO MANY SAOs as Update to Existing, gives an $80 price and Venmo acquisition note, and repeats 25 SAO slots plus a 360 by 360 mm size. The current roster does not identify a changed board or new revision, so this is one independently documented DEF CON 33 host badge with a later availability/continuity record, not a duplicate DEF CON 34 artifact, official credential, completed sale, confirmed delivery, or rights-cleared image.
Submarine Badge & Pirate SAO (DEF CON 33)
Independent electronic badge and Pirate Flag SAO bundle with a scheduled DC33 BadgeLife drop
BigTaro's Tindie listing calls this the Submarine Badge & Pirate SAO and describes a $150 Defcon-pickup preorder. It frames the electronic artifact as an interactive underwater world with CTF package deliveries in DEF-SEA, pirate battles, underwater cults, Atlantis, hardware/software puzzles, and soldering challenges. The source says it has a super-bright round display, more than six buttons, one SAO port, exposed extra GPIO, a fully-programmable claim, an exclusive Pirate Flag SAO bundle, stickers, and an interaction with Gunslinger-B-Gone. BigTaro's own Submarine page supplies a live dashboard-like maker surface, and the DEF CON 33 Creator Events List independently schedules a Friday BadgeLife Community Table 1 drop naming Submarine alongside FrogStar and FightDystopia. These sources establish a real independent electronic-badge bundle and a scheduled 2025 event activity, not an official DEF CON credential, confirmed attendance or handout outcome, production count, electrical design, firmware source release, or reusable-image rights.
Wild West Hackin' Fest Deadwood 2025 E-Badge
Antisyphon-sponsored ESP32-S3 badge CTF
The Wild West Hackin' Fest Deadwood 2025 e-badge was the conference's electronic badge and badge CTF artifact. The official WWHF e-badge page identifies Antisyphon Training as the badge sponsor, Meta CTF as the scoreboard/challenge partner, multiple challenges solvable from badge behavior or firmware, and Ray Feltch, David Fletcher, and Rick Wisser as badge-team contacts.
Agency SAO Badge V2 (DEF CON 34)
Independent RP2040-Zero firmware project; physical build and event handoff unverified
MadmanTimmy3241's public repository describes itself as DEF CON 34 'Agency' SAO badge firmware for a Waveshare RP2040-Zero, and its commit-pinned source header calls the sketch DEF CON 34 "Agency" badge - V2. The public Arduino/C++ tree contains current display, scrolling, button, switch, buzzer, and infrared source paths, while dated first-person commit messages report staged local hardware smoke, display, input, and buzzer testing. The source header simultaneously says handshake, infrared, and logging logic is not wired up yet. This is sufficient to retain a distinct, independent pre-event event-labelled firmware-project record, not proof of a completed board, an event badge run, a compatible SAO, a delivered unit, DEF CON authorization, admission use, or a reusable image.
Agency Wand (DEF CON 34)
Current $60 ATtiny1616 BadgeLife wand; DC34 handoff and final-unit parity unverified
Brooke's Bytes' live Uberflux listing identifies Agency Wand as an independently offered DEF CON 34 iteration of a wand-shaped badge first made for HackSpaceCon 2025. The current listing shows a $60 price, 19 remaining, 11 sold, PRE/DROP labels, and a DEF CON 34 BadgeLife Village drop listed for August 7 at 4 PM. It names an ATtiny1616, five reverse-mounted addressable LEDs, ambient/setup LEDs, two buttons, a CR2032, and exposed UART pins, while explicitly saying specifications and functionality may vary as fabrication and development continue. TrueControl's public documentation describes this as the second Wand iteration and publishes more DC34 hardware/firmware context, including a clearly labelled REV1 hardware-issue section. The sources support a distinct pre-event electronic badge record, not completed manufacture or handoff, DEF CON issuance or admission function, final stock/payment status, a universally safe device, final firmware parity, or reusable marketplace/repository images.
Area41 2026 ESP-Based Electronic Badge
Swiss ESP blinking attendee badge with SAO invitation
A source-backed Area41 2026 attendee electronic-badge record. The official event page said each attendee would receive an ESP-based blinking electronic badge and invited badge owners to bring Shitty Add-Ons (SAOs). The organizer's post-event recap identifies Technische Fachschule Bern as the badge designer and assembler, while the school's own update says it developed and manufactured the hardware; the recap also reports attendees soldered more than 300 SAO badge extensions.
Avnet FAE Institute 2026 PCB Badge
Alex Glow's MIT-licensed hardware-experimentation event PCB badge
Alex Glow's public repository describes this as an official PCB-badge commission for Avnet's FAE Institute 2026, and its linked Hackster project calls it a cyber-gem and platform for hardware experimentation. The commit-pinned source archive contains KiCad 9 board files, Gerber outputs, custom footprint libraries, and front/back repository rasters. Public vendor updates identify the July Phoenix FAE Institute's hands-on technical-training context. Together these sources establish a real event-specific hardware design, but not participant-wide issuance, a final manufactured configuration, a source-to-unit mapping, or a delivery ledger.
BSides Brisbane 2026 Clock Module Badge
Post-event 555/74LS clock-generator badge with MIT source release
BSides Brisbane 2026's official prospectus offered electronic badge design/build for 500 delegates, Humanitix marked the July 4 event passed while listing conference-badge and VIP special-badge pickup, and public event updates named BLARGE as the electronic-badge supporter. Six days after the event, the `bsidesbrisbane/badge-2026` repository publicly documented the actual 2026 Clock Module: a photographed purple BSides Brisbane board in a 3D-printed case, a simple manually controllable clock generator made from 555 timers and 74LS-series logic, with committed Gerbers, BOM/CPL production data, an STL case file, and an MIT license.
BSides Canberra 2026 Planned Electronic Badge
Pre-event Canberra electronic-badge and speaker-credential record
BSides Canberra 2026 is represented as a planned/pre-event record because its public Humanitix ticketing page says general and student entry include a t-shirt and electronic badge, while the official CFP says accepted talks or events receive a speaker/event-host badge.
BSides Dublin 2026 Harp Badge
Irish STM32 touch-and-sound electronic conference badge
A source-backed BSides Dublin 2026 Harp Badge: the organizer-owned public repository preserves firmware, a hardware reference, production files, and a post-event update path for the May 23 Trinity College conference.
BSides Kristiansand 2026 Shield Badge
SolaSec hackable electronic Kristiansand shield badge
BSides Kristiansand 2026 issued a custom hackable electronic badge shaped as the Kristiansand city shield. The official BSides Kristiansand article identifies SolaSec as its creator, and a published post-event account says every attendee received a hardware badge designed specifically for this event by Caleb Davis. The official ticket listing marks the June 5 Noroff conference as ended.
BSides Lisbon 2026 Electronic Badge
Planned Portuguese Security BSides electronic badge; technical details pending
BSides Lisbon's current official 2026 About page says the October 29-30 conference will have talks, networking, an electronic badge, and a CTF. The official home and location page place the planned event at Auditório Prof. Simões dos Santos in Lisbon, and the current team page lists Pedro Umbelino under Badge. This is a source-backed planned electronic-badge programme, not evidence of a completed board, technical implementation, or badge-linked CTF.
BSides Maine 2026 Electronic Lighthouse Badge
Interactive hackable lighthouse attendee badge with a pulsing beacon
BSides Maine's official Bluesky account called its 2026 badge electronic, described it as a puzzle, and revealed the main attendee badge as a hackable lighthouse with a pulsing beacon. The official agenda says attendees collected conference badges and materials at registration, and its closing description refers to whether anyone solved the badge. This completed-event record therefore documents a real electronic attendee badge and its stated puzzle role without supplying unannounced technical details.
BSides Orlando 2026 Planned LED Badge
Organizer-published four-LED KiCad badge design for the upcoming September conference
BSides Orlando's official GitHub organization published 2026-badge, a public KiCad 10 schematic and PCB project, as the conference's current 2026 badge-design trail. The schematic identifies four 3 mm blink-labeled LEDs, a Keystone 3002 1x2032 cell-holder footprint, an MST22D18G2 125 power-switch component, and a 2x3 2.54 mm socket. The official event site sets the conference for September 26 at Full Sail Live in Winter Park, Florida. This supports a planned organizer-published discrete LED badge design, not a released or allocated physical badge, attendee credential, finished BOM, final board revision, firmware, or image license.
BSides Porto 2026 Electronic Badge Experience
Portuguese BSides electronic badge experience
A conservative post-event record for BSides Porto 2026's advertised electronic badge experience, anchored to the official site, agenda, ticketing page, and organizer completion recap rather than component-level badge documentation.
BSides SP 2026 Garoa Badge REV. 0
Garoa ESP8266/OLED community electronic badge
Garoa Hacker Clube's own event-period demo repository identifies its REV. 0 board as a badge distributed at BSides SP 2026. The Garoa and official V21 event sources establish the completed São Paulo conference, while the public source trail documents an ESP8266 badge with a 128×64 OLED, buttons, sound/IR path, microSD socket, FTDI programming header, and public KiCad/Gerber/BOM material. It does not prove one final firmware or hardware revision for every conference unit.
BSides San Diego 2026 Cyberpunk Bunny Badge
ESP32 portable CTF badge
BSides San Diego 2026 handed attendees a Cyberpunk Bunny electronic badge: an ESP32-powered portable CTF with cryptography challenges, wireless hacking, hidden secrets, an accelerometer-driven oracle, BLE co-op behavior, and an ultimate hidden flag path.
BSidesTLV 2026 Electronic Badge
Planned Israeli hardware CTF badge
A planned BSidesTLV 2026 electronic badge record from the current official Hardware Village page: the November 11, 2026 Alice in AI Land conference advertises a Badge CTF Challenge for uncovering secrets hidden in the event's electronic badge.
Badge Crown SAO (DEF CON 34)
Current $10 three-flashing-red-LED SAO; handoff and host compatibility unverified
Brooke's Bytes' live Uberflux listing calls Badge Crown SAO a Crown Shitty Add-On for a conference badge. The current page shows a $10 price, 10 remaining, 20 sold, PRE/DROP labels, and a DEF CON 34 BadgeLife Village drop listed for August 7 at 4 PM. It describes a fully assembled SAO with one SAO connector, three flashing red LEDs, and three resistors; its own listing says no soldering, programming, or separate battery is required and tells users only to connect it to a compatible badge. Badge.Life separately schedules Brookes Bytes Badge and SAOs in the same Friday 4 PM village slot. These sources establish a distinct pre-event electronic add-on record, not a documented pinout, voltage/current budget, universal host fit, completed sale or handoff, DEF CON issuance or credential role, or image reuse.
BadgeLife Village Badge (DEF CON 34)
Published pre-event RP2354 BadgeLife village badge; allocation and handoff unverified
Badge.Life's public archive documents Badgey Bodgerton as the Badgelife Village Badge for DC34 / 2026. Its published guide names an RP2354 microcontroller with integrated flash, eight addressable RGB NeoPixel LEDs, three user buttons, one user-installed 3 mm challenge LED and polarized buzzer, USB-C power, USB CDC serial CLI, UF2 firmware flashing, a single-cell 18650 battery with charging and protection circuitry, two Simple Add-On v2 headers, and an infrared receiver. It also documents a supplied bodge-wire challenge and supplied LED/resistor/buzzer challenge parts. This establishes a distinct, technically documented pre-event BadgeLife village electronic badge, not proof that DEF CON designed, issued, or will distribute it; that it is a Human admission credential; that every participant receives one; that a final badge run, pickup, or delivery occurred; or that any displayed image is cleared for reuse.
Beelzebub Minibadge Holder (DEF CON 34)
Independent ATtiny814 24-NeoPixel minibadge holder offered for DEF CON 34
Cabinet of Distinctm1nd's live Beelzebub Minibadge Holder listing is a $45 offer that displayed sold out in this August 4, 2026 source pass and says DEF CON pickup is only for August 6-8 pickup attendees. The maker describes 24 NeoPixel LEDs, an ATtiny 814, USB-or-battery power, custom or pre-programmed themes, and an assembled board whose minibadge headers and optional battery holder still require soldering; it also says shown minibadges are not included. The public `distinctm1nd/beelzebub_minibadge_holder` repository corroborates a holder for five minibadges, a 24-LED source layout, button-selected theme code, and KiCad/BOM material. Its hardware archive includes a filename with `saintcon_2025`, so it is a useful implementation and lineage source, not proof of a completed SAINTCON distribution, an unchanged final 2026 build, final fulfillment, official DEF CON issuance, a complete source-license grant, or reusable-image rights.
Breadbadge (DEF CON 34)
Current $80 RP2354 breadboard-prototyping badge; fulfillment unverified
Tw0nkus's live Uberflux listing calls Breadbadge a badge by day and a breadboard-prototyping tool by night. It identifies an RP2354A main MCU, INA3221 I2C voltage/current/power monitor, ST7789 SPI display, six WS2812 RGB LEDs, navigation joystick/back button, UART/UPDI/I2C/5 V/3.3 V/debug breakouts, and a Defcon34 drop. The same current listing displayed $80, five remaining, and four sold. Badge.Life's current DC34 Village schedule independently lists Bread Badge by Tw0nkus in its Friday 1:30 PM badge-drop slot. This is enough evidence for a distinct, independently offered pre-event electronic badge associated with DEF CON 34, not proof that DEF CON issued it, that it is an admission credential, that inventory/payment/fulfillment figures are final, that a drop or handoff occurred, or that marketplace images are cleared for reuse.
CPEC DC34 MechBattle Badge
Independent planned ESP32-S3 battle-game badge project for DEF CON 34
Cyber Professionals Enthusiast Club's public `DC34-Mech-Badge` repository calls the work the DC 34 MechBattle Badge, describes it as the second iteration of menu and game logic for a CPEC DC34 badge offering, and says it is not final; its GitHub description explicitly calls it a DEFCON 34 Mech Badge by CPEC. A second CPEC repository publishes an in-progress PlatformIO/Arduino game codebase targeted at an Adafruit Feather ESP32-S3 no-PSRAM board, with source-level display, Bluetooth Low Energy, QR, and sound surfaces. A third CPEC repository says it contains design files for SAO plug-in modules for the CPEC DC 34 badge; its commit-pinned source tree includes native KiCad project, PCB, and schematic paths with fist, gatling, laser, missile, panel, and sword filenames, an Arduino source file, and BOM/placement artifacts. The linked game-mechanics document is also a draft. These primary sources establish a real independent planned badge and companion-add-on design trail, not final physical hardware, manufactured units, electrical compatibility, availability, event authorization, DEF CON organizer affiliation, admission, deployed radio behavior, or reusable-image rights.
Carolina Code Conference 2026 Circuit Board Badge
Completed ESP32-S3 CircuitPython conference badge with public source
Carolina Code Conference's organizer documented Circuit Board Badge pickup for its August 14-15 event, and its named badge partner published a source archive for an ESP32-S3 CircuitPython board. The archive identifies five WS2812 LEDs, three buttons, a 1.77-inch ST7735S display, Micro-USB, and CR123A or USB power. It supports a released badge software and hardware reference, not a recipient ledger, an independently audited final production configuration, or a rights-cleared physical-badge image.
Cyb3rBytes404 Cyber-Cat Badge (DEF CON 34)
Small-batch pre-event RP2040 youth-coding giveaway badge for DEF CON 34
A late-July public r/Defcon post by u/ProfessionalPea2218 says its author has been designing and hand-soldering a small batch of badge PCBs to help launch Cyb3rBytes404, a self-described San Diego nonprofit for free hands-on youth coding and electronics projects. The author says the badges are not for sale and are intended for random giveaway throughout ‘the con.’ Separately, the public Cyb3rBytes404 GitHub repository calls itself the official repository for the cyber coding camp and documents a custom RP2040 cyber-cat badge, MicroPython starter material and challenges, an MPU-6050 motion module, and thirty WS2812 RGB LEDs. Its visible commit history places the reviewed README update on July 28, 2026. The shared project name supports a source-backed pre-event DEF CON 34 association, but it does not establish that the Reddit author controls the GitHub namespace, that every physical PCB matches the repository snapshot, final hardware, the run size, a completed giveaway, or a DEF CON-issued credential.
CypherCon 2026 Digital / Circuit Badge
Official interactive PCB ticket-tier artifact; final build remains unarchived
CypherCon 9's official 2026 registration listing describes its Digital / Circuit Badge ticket tier as an interactive circuit-board PCB badge. The official FAQ distinguishes that general digital/PCB/electronic tier from limited Extreme/Ultimate and Analog ticket forms, while a public organizer-account timeline mirror records the April event opening and wrap. Those sources establish a real completed-event ticket artifact, not a component-level board specification or an individual fulfillment record.
CypherCon 2026 Extreme Badge
Official premium electronic and upgraded-PCB ticket-tier artifact
CypherCon 9's official 2026 registration page separately advertised an Extreme Badge ticket tier with unique collectible electronic-badge wording and an exclusive upgraded-PCB feature. The official FAQ calls the limited VIP form an Extreme/Ultimate badge, but the recovered sources do not say whether it was a distinct physical board, an upgrade of the Digital / Circuit Badge, multiple artifacts, or a final fulfilled configuration.
DC-34 Countdown to Singularity Badge
Public KiCad/Arduino DEF CON 34 project; production and distribution unverified
eggsactly's public `DC-34-Countdown-To-Singularity` repository explicitly calls itself KiCad 6 design files for a DEF CON badge that lets users display an estimate for when the AI singularity will occur. Its README names eight seven-segment displays, a real-time clock, front buttons for changing the estimate, a KiCad board tree, an Arduino firmware tree, and a BOM that includes an ATmega328P-PU, PCF8523T, seven 2×3 SAO connectors, three buttons, 9 V input/battery parts, and display/power components. This is a real, independently documented pre-event source project, not proof of an assembled run, a specific final unit, DEF CON authorization, allocation, sale, delivery, credential function, or a rights-cleared image.
DC34 CompuNet Badge — Malware Scan Tool 3000
Documented independent pre-event ESP32 RFID-kit badge; distribution unverified
The public `slash128v6/DC34_Cnet_Badge` repository documents a DC34-named electronic kit titled “DC34 CompuNet Badge - Malware Scan Tool 3000.” Its README has a banner reading “Join CompuNet & Critical Start at Defcon!” and lists a PCB, ESP32 Dev Module, round LCD, RFID reader, microSD reader/card, RGB LED, six-pin female SAO header, four-AAA battery holder, 3D-printed stand and slides, RFID sticker tags, plus a separate RGB-LED SAO. The public project tree includes hardware, software, SD-card assets, and a root MIT license. It is therefore a real, independently documented pre-event DEF CON 34-associated kit record, not evidence that DEF CON, CompuNet, or Critical Start authorized, made, issued, sold, or distributed it.
DEF CON 34 Badge
Completed electronic Human badge with Baochip, QR interaction, and post-event token conversion
DEF CON's official news confirms DEF CON 34 wrapped on August 10, 2026. Its official badge-help page now documents the issued electronic Human badge's post-conference conversion to a hardware security token, current firmware-update path, public source-code links, and the in-conference encrypted-QR light-pattern exchange. The official July 31 reveal names Bunnie Huang as creator and Baochip as the inspectable silicon platform, while the public core-module KiCad archive and `dc34-vault` source provide a specific hardware and software trail. This establishes a completed official badge record without treating later public source as a production ledger or a reusable-image grant.
DEF CON 34 Shitty Add-On (narengogi)
Independent LED/2×3-header SAO source project; physical build and host compatibility unverified
The public narengogi/defcon-34-shitty-add-on repository describes itself only as an SAO for DEF CON 34. Its single commit contains a native KiCad project, board, schematic, Gerber outputs, an archive, and vector artwork; the board source includes DC 34 and narengogi silkscreen text, a 2×3 generic connector, and LED/resistor-labelled source entries. That is enough to preserve an independent, source-only pre-event add-on project whose formal product name is not published. It is not evidence of a fabricated board, a specific SAO version or pinout, working electronics, a compatible host, a DEF CON or BadgeLife relationship, a sale or giveaway, attendee delivery, a credential function, or a reusable image.
DEF CON 34 Silent Disco Badge
Maker-published physical silent-disco badge; organizer role and handoff unverified
LastZactionHero's public repository is titled DEF CON Silent Disco Badge and documents a wearable electronic badge that plays local DJ mixes, drives a music-linked light show, and syncs badge-to-badge over infrared. Its August 4 maintainer update says the boards were fabricated, assembled, and playing music, and that every badge's QR silkscreen points to the repository. The public archive contains KiCad design and fabrication material, firmware, and a MIT license, sufficient to record a distinct maker-published physical DEF CON 34-associated artifact. No reviewed DEF CON, venue, silent-disco organizer, sales, or handoff source establishes official issuance, a run size, recipient allocation, or completed event distribution.
DEFCON Furs 2026 Badge
Sold-out RP2040, LoRa, NFC, and LED community-event badge preorder
DEFCON Furs' official 2026 site and Hack Your Lives donation-store listing identify a distinct 2026 #badgelife badge for the DEF CON 34 period. The currently sold-out listing describes an assembled badge plus a blank PCB, an RP2040, LoRa radio, NFC, 48 RGB LEDs, MicroPython, touch points, and an SAO 1.69bis interface. It says paid orders will be assembled and shipped by September 30, while blanks were offered for in-person DEF CON pickup. Those are organizer-published preorder and planned-fulfillment statements, not proof that every order shipped, that each unit has the described final configuration, or that a specific recipient collected one.
DFIU SAO (DEF CON 34)
Independent CH32V003 touch-and-audio SAO announced for DEF CON 34
BigFuckingBadge's live DEF CON 34 page presents a $20 OffensiveSAO around touching Lintile's face to play a "Don't Fuck It Up" cheer track. The public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response identifies that item as the DFIU SAO from BigFuckingBadge / Hexum064 and links public CH32V003 hardware and firmware repositories. The firmware's PlatformIO target is `genericCH32V003F4U6`; its `main.c` initializes touch ADC support, reads a touch input on PD2, starts sampled audio when the threshold is crossed, and configures a PWM audio path plus D/F/I/U and display LED outputs. The public hardware tree contains a KiCad PCB/schematic, BOM/position files, and Gerbers. Together these sources establish a real planned independent electronic SAO associated with DEF CON 34—not an official DEF CON issue, admission credential, confirmed handoff, final production revision, safety-tested product, open-source license grant, or rights-cleared image.
DOJOConf Panamá 2026 Electronic Badge
Limited ticket-holder CH573F badge with a public hardware archive
DOJOConf Panamá's official page advertises a limited, separately purchased electronic badge available only to ticket holders, with an integrated OLED, four physical buttons, and a rechargeable USB-C battery. An organizer-controlled update says the 2026 badge will be useful in the CTF, and an Electronic Cats post names that organization as the edition's designer and maker. Electronic Cats' public `badge-dojocon-2026` repository separately identifies itself as the official Badge DojoCon Panamá 2026 archive and has a pre-event v1.0 release. Its commit-pinned documentation records a CH573F RISC-V/BLE design with an OLED, directional buttons, a WS2812B LED, USB-C, and a battery connection. These sources establish a real event artifact and public design trail, not completed delivery or a source-to-recipient configuration mapping.
DragonJARCON 2026 Diploma-Track Electronic Badge
Planned exclusive electronic badge in five-day offensive-security diploma package
DragonJARCON's current official 2026 page advertises an exclusive electronic badge only as a benefit of its five-day in-person Offensive Security Diploma, scheduled in Medellín for September 14-18 and including entry to the September 10-11 DragonJAR Security Conference. This source-backed record preserves that planned, package-scoped electronic-badge claim. It does not turn the standard conference kit or the prior 2025 badge into evidence that general 2026 conference attendees receive the same artifact.
Ekoparty 2026 Champion Electronic Badge
Planned Champion-tier electronic badge
A pre-event Ekoparty 2026 record limited to the current organizer-linked ticket offer: the Champion tier includes an electronic badge for the planned Buenos Aires conference.
FirstBuild / GE Appliances Washer/Dryer Badge (DEF CON 34)
Pre-event FirstBuild / GE Appliances 100-free-badge washer/dryer motion giveaway project
FirstBuild's official DefCon34-Badge repository describes an Arduino-compatible FirstBuild / GE Appliances washer/dryer badge for DEF CON 34. Its README names a current production target of an STM32G031F8P6 with an MXC6655XA three-axis accelerometer and eight SK6805 side-emitting RGB LEDs, driving an infinity-mirror water effect that follows gravity. The repository publishes firmware, a schematic PDF, an MIT license for software and associated documentation, and a distribution guide that says the project is intended to be distributed as firmware installed on physical badges. A first-person r/Defcon post reviewed on 2026-08-05 says its public-account author is returning with the GE Appliances booth in IoT Village, has another 100 free badges to give away, and plans an unspecified number per day; it calls the item a cartoon UltraFast Washer/Dryer Combo with a motion-responsive infinity mirror. In a comment, the author says the artwork, PCB design, and software were done in-house at FirstBuild. That account statement does not independently establish the author's employment, formal FirstBuild or GE Appliances authority, official booth authorization, final stock, or completed handoff. GitHub still shows no release or tag, and the record remains a separate event-associated pre-event project, not the official DEF CON attendee credential or an image-reuse grant.
Friend or Foe Badge (DEF CON 34 Packet Hacking Village)
Completed independent three-radio ESP32-S3 RF-awareness badge
The public Friend or Foe project archive documents a three-board ESP32-S3 badge shown at DEF CON 34 Packet Hacking Village. Its hardware documentation records a 45-badge DEF CON run and the project root describes a wearable, passive RF-awareness platform with an uplink/display controller and dedicated BLE and Wi-Fi scanner boards. Packet Hacking Village's official DEF CON 34 programme independently establishes the completed village setting and the Friend or Foe presentation. These sources establish a completed independent electronic project, not an official DEF CON Human badge, conference-wide handout, admission credential, or recipient ledger.
HRV SSTV Badge (DEF CON 34)
Maker-published planned SSTV badge project for HRV/DEF CON 34; physical unit unverified
The public `livitup/hrv-sstv-badge` repository describes itself as building an SSTV #badgelife badge for HRV at DEFCON 34. Its commit-pinned source contains a project README, native KiCad board files, and a status document dated March 22, 2026 that still records design and prototype milestones rather than a shipped unit. Ham Radio Village's own page independently confirms its DEF CON 34 event in Las Vegas on August 6-9, 2026, but does not identify or endorse this project. The sources therefore support a publicly documented planned independent electronic-badge project associated with HRV/DEF CON 34, not an HRV- or DEF CON-issued artifact, ticket benefit, access credential, completed unit, allocation, delivery, or rights-cleared image.
Hacker Boba Badge Kit (DEF CON 34)
Current $10 no-MCU CR2032 flashing-LED soldering kit; handoff and assembly outcome unverified
Brooke's Bytes' live Uberflux listing calls Hacker Boba a beginner-friendly Hacker Boba PCB Badge Kit. The current page shows a $10 price, 17 remaining, 33 sold, PRE/DROP labels, and a DEF CON 34 BadgeLife Village drop listed for August 7 at 4 PM. It lists a Hacker Boba PCB badge, keychain, power switch, CR2032 holder and included CR2032, three flashing RGB LEDs, and three resistors; it says the DIY kit arrives unsoldered, needs basic soldering supplies, has no microcontroller or firmware, and includes a QR code that opens a Google Maps Boba Shop search. Badge.Life separately schedules Brookes Bytes Badge and SAOs in the same Friday 4 PM slot. This supports a distinct pre-event electronic kit record, not a completed sale or assembly, DEF CON issuance or admission role, electrical-safety validation, a hardware-design release, or reusable listing images.
Hacker Pager (DEF CON 34 Revision)
Maker-announced independent Hacker Pager revision for DEF CON 34; handoff outcome unverified
A first-hand Exploitee.rs announcement says the team is bringing a new Hacker Pager revision to DEF CON 34, with planned online availability and BadgeLife Village pickup. Its official project site documents an ESP32-S3, Semtech SX1262 LoRa radio, monochrome LCD, microSD, USB-C, rechargeable LiPo power, buttons, speaker, vibration motor, LEDs, and open design sources; its current update page labels firmware 2.7.26.pager as DEF CON 34. Public electronics and case repositories publish KiCad/BOM and mechanical source material under CERN-OHL-S-2.0. This is sufficient evidence for a distinct, independently sold pre-event BadgeLife artifact associated with DEF CON 34, not evidence of DEF CON issuance, authorization, admission, a completed sale, pickup, delivery, final production configuration, or rights-cleared image.
Hackers Teaching Hackers 2026 Eagle 5 Badge
nRF52840/SX1262 electronic conference badge with a public post-event GPL firmware archive
Hackers Teaching Hackers' official materials establish the June 3-5, 2026 Columbus-area practitioner conference with villages and a CTF. Zack Nagaich's public Eagle 5 repository labels itself the 2026 HTH conference-badge firmware and documents an nRF52840 plus SX1262 electronic badge with LEDs, USB roles, RNode/Reticulum-oriented firmware, on-badge CLI, and CTF source context. An attendee account independently says their light-up badge was part of the conference CTF, while the organizer has not directly published this 2026 repository or a distribution record.
Helgatchi Badge (DEF CON 34)
Independent ESP32-S3 BLE and Wi-Fi scanner badge offered for DEF CON 34
DC801's live Helgatchi product page identifies a $120 portable, rechargeable BLE-beacon and Wi-Fi-access-point scanner/hunter with configurable alerts. It names a XIAO ESP32-S3, 8 MB flash, a 400 mAh 3.7 V LiPo, 1.69-inch 240 by 280 Waveshare LCD, six RGB LEDs, vibration motor, and external SMA-RP 2.4 GHz antenna path. Pips801's public repository contains separate hardware and firmware/UI trees, while the public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response identifies DC801 + 801 Labs' Helgatchi as a new badge associated with the August event. The listing remains an independent seller artifact with planned July pickup/shipping terms—not official DEF CON issuance, a Human badge, admission, confirmed recipient delivery, a fully audited detection device, an open-source license, or a rights-cleared image.
IEEE Rising Stars 2026 Conference Badge Project
Bare-PCB attendee badge and five advanced prototypes
IEEE Rising Stars' official post-event Badge Project page says every 2026 attendee received a bare PCB with no components, while only about five manually assembled advanced badges were prototyped. A separate pre-event SEAL-Embedded source snapshot documents a Raspberry Pi Pico W BLE networking-badge development track, but neither source identifies it as one of those five units. The record therefore keeps the all-attendee bare-PCB and limited-prototype claims separate and does not treat a public development branch as a universal working badge.
IFLFU SAO (DEF CON 34)
Independent PFC161 two-LED message SAO update announced for DEF CON 34
BigFuckingBadge's public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response calls IFLFU SAO an update to an existing SAO, lists it at $20, and says it illuminates the words "I FUCKING LOVE FUCKING YOU" with the two "FUCKING" illuminations randomized. The same maker's live DEF CON 34 page has an unlabeled $20 OffensiveSAO card about a simple rectangle that sends a message at random; the roster supplies the direct IFLFU name/repository mapping. Hexum064's public `iflfu-v2-pfc161` C source includes PFC161 headers and drives two active-low LED outputs, each with an LFSR-based timing state, while the public hardware repository carries KiCad front/back boards and schematics, BOM/position files, Gerbers, and SAO-spacer models. These sources establish a real planned independent electronic SAO update associated with DEF CON 34—not official conference issuance, admission, a fully recovered earlier lineage, completed fulfillment, final production parity, safe/electrically characterized hardware, a source-license grant, or a rights-cleared image.
Krampus Minibadge Holder (DEF CON 34)
Independent ATtiny814 five-NeoPixel minibadge holder offered for DEF CON 34
Cabinet of Distinctm1nd's live Krampus Minibadge Holder listing is a $45 offer that displayed sold out in this August 4, 2026 source pass and limits DEF CON pickup to August 6-8 pickup attendees. The maker describes five NeoPixel LEDs, an ATtiny 814, microcontroller development-pin access, USB-or-battery power, and custom or pre-programmed themes; it says minibadge headers and the optional battery holder require soldering and shown minibadges are not included. The public `distinctm1nd/krampus_minibadge_holder` repository corroborates an ATtiny814 holder described as holding six minibadges, a five-LED firmware layout, button-selected theme code, and KiCad/BOM material. Its hardware archive includes a `saintcon_2025` filename, so the tree is an implementation and lineage source—not proof of completed SAINTCON distribution, final 2026 production parity, fulfillment, official DEF CON issuance, a complete source-license grant, or reusable-image rights.
LayerOne 2026 Three-Button Keyboard Badge
Assembled electronic keyboard badge with blinkies and UV-resin art
LayerOne 2026's electronic attendee and speaker badge was a three-button keyboard with blinkies and a self-printed UV-resin artwork layer. The official Hardware Hacking Village material says attendees assembled the electronic badge in the village, and the official wrap-up confirms the completed event badge and its hand-repair response.
NorthSec 2026 Badge
Official ESP32-S3 NFC e-paper badge with post-event Apache-2.0 source release
NorthSec 2026's official registration page lists a new social electronic badge as an included item for conference, CTF, combo, and training ticket holders while supplies lasted. The official competition page's retained 2026 Solarpunk section says the hackable electronic badge was fully integrated into the CTF, with badge challenges worth points and on-site badge-firmware tampering among the physical tracks. Official villages pages document badge pickup through attendees' nSec order QR codes, soldering-village activity where attendees could enhance their badge with blinking electronic parts, and a badge museum. On August 3, after the May event, NorthSec published the separate Apache-2.0 `nsec/badge-2026` repository. Its commit-pinned hardware and source tree documents an ESP32-S3 badge design with an ST25R3916 NFC front end, six buttons, eighteen WS2812/NeoPixel LEDs, a 200×200 GDEH0154D67 / SSD1681 e-paper path, KiCad design files, production BOM/CPL/Gerbers, PlatformIO firmware, conference/CTF partitions, CTF assets, and dock/SAO directories.
OWASP SAO (DEF CON 34)
Source-published 15-pixel touch SAO firmware project; physical artifact and handoff unverified
Punk Security's public repository calls its Arduino sketch "the firmware for the OWASP DefCon 34 SAO." Its final public source snapshot provides an actual `main.ino` rather than an event-labelled name alone: it defines 15 addressable RGB pixel positions, three PTC capacitive-touch nodes, and a README that says the SAO header exposes UPDI for reprogramming. This clears the catalogue threshold for a named, source-published pre-event electronic add-on project. It does not establish a final PCB, microcontroller, power path, exact SAO specification, fabricated unit, approved OWASP or DEF CON relationship, price, allocation, pickup, delivered handoff, credential function, or reusable image rights.
Open Sauce 2026 Badge
SauceBot / Arduino Sopracciglio electronic badge with a post-event KiCad archive
Open Sauce 2026's SauceBot badge is documented by Caleb Marting's post-event public archive as an Arduino MKR Zero-compatible electronic badge with native KiCad sources, firmware, a microphone, button, red LEDs, battery holder, and optional Simple Add-On headers. The archive says at least two attendees hacked badges Saturday night and brought four new games on Sunday; an independent attendee firmware archive also describes receiving an eyebrow module and replacing the original Bop It-style firmware. Together the sources establish a real festival artifact and hands-on hacking trail, not a universal attendee allocation or organizer-owned source release.
Ouroboros Badge (DEF CON 34)
Independent CH32V003 bare-metal UART crypto-puzzle badge offered toward DEF CON 34
K Badges' maker-controlled Tindie listing identifies Ouroboros as a $29.99 bare-metal RISC-V-assembly electronic badge on a CH32V003, with a custom UART cryptographic puzzle, a 12-LED Charlieplexed matrix, a circular single-layer PCB with exposed traces, and a hand-soldered two-AA configuration. Its August 4, 2026 storefront snapshot is out of stock; the seller says a new order is coming and hopes to bring some to DEF CON, rather than confirming units, arrival, pickup, or delivery. In a first-person r/Defcon announcement, the maker says they created the project and links the Tindie page and a GitHub technical explainer, while separately offering to arrange a DEF CON pickup by email for Tindie buyers. The product also makes 115200-baud puzzle, cryptographic-framework, low-power, and performance statements, but neither the product nor the maker-linked generic AVR framework establishes a released matching CH32V003 firmware or hardware package. This is a source-backed independent pre-event maker offering, not an official DEF CON badge, registration credential, confirmed fulfillment, verified cryptographic implementation, hardware-safety record, or reusable-image source.
Portal Gun SAO (DEF CON 34)
Independent PFC161 touch-and-four-LED companion SAO announced for DEF CON 34
BigFuckingBadge's public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response lists a new $20 PORTAL gun SAO and says touching its end changes animated colors and interacts with the PORTAL Badge. The maker's live DEF CON 34 page independently describes a $20 Portal-gun companion with blue, orange/red, and off modes plus interaction with that year's Portal Badge. Hexum064's public `portal-gun-sao-dc33-code` source targets PFC161, defines a four-pixel LED buffer, blue/orange color states, a capacitive-touch threshold, and a touch-triggered state update; the public hardware tree holds KiCad, BOM/position, Gerber, and acrylic files. The source repositories retain `dc33` in their names, so they are an implementation/reuse trail rather than proof of a newly designed or unchanged 2026 production revision. Together the sources establish a real planned independent electronic SAO associated with DEF CON 34—not official DEF CON issuance, admission, confirmed fulfillment, a finalized host-compatibility claim, final hardware/firmware parity, third-party-IP permission, a source-license grant, or a rights-cleared image.
RISC-V Summit Europe 2026 FPGA Badge
SemiTO-V Developer Zone RP2350/GW1N-9 electronic badge project
SemiTO-V's RISC-V FPGA Badge was a limited Developer Zone electronic PCB badge project for RISC-V Summit Europe 2026 in Bologna. Primary team sources name an RP2350 MCU, a GOWIN GW1N-9 FPGA, custom firmware, and a default RV32I core; they say NextPCB produced the boards and planned to bring 25 to the developer workshop. A logistics update then delayed intended June 8 distribution. The source record supports real physical boards and a 2026 event association, not a final unit count, completed recipient delivery, or the precise current post-event design revision.
ROOTCON 20 Planned Badge
Philippine planned electronic badge and Type-B fallback
The ROOTCON 20 con-goers guide documents a planned September 2026 badge distribution model: electronic badges distributed first-come during on-site check-in while supplies last, with a simpler Type-B non-electronic badge fallback.
RVAsec 2026 Badge
HackRVA firmware and simulator badge archive
RVAsec 2026 is now source-backed beyond the earlier package listing: the public HackRVA `badge2026` repository preserves Badge 2026 firmware, simulator/build instructions, UF2 flashing workflow, app source, image assets, and June 10, 2026 release binaries after the June 9-10 conference.
SAINTCON 2026 Planned Electronic Badge
Pre-event main badge with 2.54 mm MiniBadge sockets
SAINTCON 2026 is represented by a conservative planned electronic-badge record: official pages state that the 2026 conference badge will have MiniBadge sockets on the standard 2.54 mm grid, while the sponsor prospectus distinguishes Electronic Badge and Non-Electronic sponsor-ticket types. The October event has not happened yet, so this record does not present the artifact as shipped.
SecretCon 2026 Digital / Circuit Badge
Official interactive PCB ticket-tier badge; post-event delivery remains unverified
An official SecretCon 2026 Digital / Circuit Badge ticket-tier artifact advertised as an interactive circuit-board PCB badge for the June 4-5 St. Paul, Minnesota conference. The registration listing says the tier included a printed physical program and admission to talks, hands-on hubs, exhibitors, contests, and the official party; it separately describes a higher Extreme Badge tier with collectible electronic and upgraded-PCB wording, without establishing whether the physical boards were different.
Star Trek SAO Phaser v2.2 (DEF CON 34)
Independent planned Hak4Kidz Lab Phaser v2.2 SAO sale at DEF CON 34
Hak4Kidz Lab's public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response lists Star Trek SAO Phaser v2.2 as a new SAO, links a maker video with that exact title, says it can be purchased from Hacker Warehouse at DEF CON, and gives an approximately $35 price. The maker's live Tindie product page also identifies Star Trek SAO Phaser v2.2 as a Hak4Kidz Lab electronic badge wearable and a fun blinky add-on. That page says it can attach to a Badgelife-supported SAO 1.69bis connector, describes side-view and shine-down LEDs illuminating the PCB, barrel, and top tracer, and calls the SAO connector a DIY soldering part. It also says the named v2.2 listing was made for DC31 and is a follow-up to a 2019 v1; its coin-cell pin-wear path was still in works. These sources establish a real planned independent current-event sale and a historical same-name product lineage—not completed DEF CON sales, confirmed Hacker Warehouse stock, a final 2026 production/revision mapping, a supplied coin-cell wearable configuration, a complete circuit/firmware archive, official DEF CON issuance or admission, reusable-image permission, or Star Trek rights-holder authorization.
The Shattered Shard (DEF CON 34)
Public player-guide electronic challenge badge; allocation unverified
BigDawgDave's public GitHub repository describes itself as the public repository for a DEF CON 34 RM-Cyber challenge badge called The Shattered Shard. Its Player Guide tells participants to use an assigned badge with a charged battery, a local Wi-Fi/browser interaction, a data-capable USB cable, a serial terminal, and one labelled-jumper task. It is enough evidence to preserve a separately named, independently documented pre-event electronic challenge badge, but it does not prove the RM-Cyber relationship, organizer authorization, hardware provenance, sale or giveaway, run size, allocation, physical handoff, completed on-site use, admission function, or a rights-cleared image.
Unknown Security Conference 2026 Pwn Llama Badge
CH573F BLE virtual-pet and CTF electronic badge
A source-backed Peruvian Unknown Security Conference 2026 electronic-badge record that joins the official pass's lanyard-and-badge inclusion with Electronic Cats' self-described official Pwn Llama badge repository. Its public history shows hardware work before the June 4-6 Lima event and a July documentation update.
Women's International Cybersecurity Challenge 2026 CTF Badge
Maker-documented ESP CTF challenge badge
A public maker archive explicitly titled Women's International Cybersecurity Challenge Badge 2026 links itself to WICC and documents a hackable serial-CLI CTF badge with ESP8266 and ESP32 target trees, challenge activities, a two-part protective case, and a repository photo of a physical cased device. WICC's official site and Cyber Ireland's post-event recap confirm the completed July 9-10 Dublin competition, but neither organizer source names this exact project. TOG separately reports building 15 ESP8266 hardware flags for the same CTF without identifying them as this archive, so this is a maker-documented event-linked electronic badge—not an organizer-issued credential, general attendee badge, or claim of equivalence to the flags.
Workday DevCon 2026 Blinky 2350 Badge
Post-event Pimoroni Blinky 2350 developer-conference badge; organizer allocation unverified
A public post-event app archive by Mainak Sarkar identifies a Pimoroni Blinky 2350 badge as handed out at Workday DevCon 2026 and says it ran the badgeware MicroPython operating system and app launcher. Workday's official pages establish the completed June 1-4 Las Vegas developer conference, but do not directly document badge issuance, recipient allocation, custom hardware, event firmware, or image rights. This is therefore a source-backed event badge record with intentionally limited organizer attribution.
cackalackycon 2026 Speaker Electronic Badge
Speaker-colored electronic admission badge; allocation evidence is limited
Cackalackycon 2026's organizer-provided Call for Papers promises every selected speaker a speaker-colored electronic badge and free admission. It separately gives the speaker one paper-badge guest admission, noting that a guest who wants an electronic badge must purchase a ticket. The organizer-linked ticket page also markets a 2026 electronic badge, and post-event organizer and badge-team reports corroborate that badges were made and handed out. This record therefore captures a source-backed speaker electronic-badge allocation, not a universal attendee or technical claim.
h-c0n 2026 CTF BADge
Madrid Hackplayers electronic development-board CTF badge
A source-backed Spanish hacker-conference electronic badge record: the official h-c0n post says Hackplayers finally produced an electronic badge for the sixth 2026 edition, describes it as a fully functional development board, and ties pickup to the February 6 conference registration and CTF start; the public `therealdreg/hcon2026hwctf` repository and Hackplayers post-event write-up document RP2350/RISC-V firmware, tooling, named co-creators, and winner write-ups.
iFixit SAO (DEF CON 34)
Maker-documented ATtiny1604 soldering-challenge Simple Add-On
NerdFlare's public repository describes a 2026 iFixit Shitty Add On (SAO), while its repository description labels the project an iFixit DEFCON 2026 SAO. The commit-pinned README documents a physical PCB art badge with multiple LED animations, an interactive surface-mount soldering challenge, user-programmable firmware, an ATtiny1604-SS target, PlatformIO/Arduino code, and KiCad design files. A dated July 18 source commit says "Version 0.1 - FINAL: art, code, and PCB. 1000 made for DEFCON34." Those are direct project-publisher statements sufficient to retain a distinct pre-event DEF CON 34 artifact, but not proof of organizer issuance, iFixit corporate publication, event authorization, attendee allocation, actual handoff, admission function, a final unit-by-unit configuration, or reusable-image rights.
