Electronic party-invitation badge with published docs and firmware
Ninja Networks' 2009 DEF CON party invitation was an electronic badge built for DEF CON 17, documented by a primary DEF CON forum post plus a technical archive with Creative Commons Attribution schematic/Gerber docs, public-domain badge code, and a BOM.
HackRVA MSP430 badge with Nokia LCD and source archive
The RVAsec 2012 badge is documented by HackRVA's public `rvasec-badge-2012` repository, which preserves Eagle board and schematic files, Gerbers, graphics, component datasheets, and release firmware for a badge built around an MSP430-class controller and Nokia 5110 / PCD8544 LCD behavior.
Rabbit Chaos Adventure badge
A source-backed Easterhegg 2024 badge record for the Rabbit Chaos Adventure: the event wiki points to challenges on campus, laptop, and badge, while the public repository preserves RCA badge files, schematics, Gerbers, parts exports, media, and printable add-ons.
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.
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.
Independent planned 500-unit Power Glove SAO re-release for DEF CON 34
NilbinSec's public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response identifies a Power Glove Re-release SAO as a free giveaway: 500 units, with drop announcements on social media and at the Badgelife Village, and a stated plan to post it to NilbinSec GitHub on DEF CON Day 1. The maker's existing DC32 Power Glove SAO repository preserves a historical fabrication/assembly trail—Gerbers plus a bill of materials with two 470-ohm resistors, three flashing RGB LEDs, one cloudy red LED, and a 2×3 shrouded SAO header. It does not publish a 2026-specific repository, firmware, change log, or production record. This is a source-backed planned independent re-release, not proof that the 500 units were made, dropped, received, electrically identical to the DC32 design, officially issued by DEF CON, usable for admission, licensed for reuse, or represented by a rights-cleared image.
Maker-documented ATtiny85 Hardware Village CTF badge soldered in Goa
The official Seasides and HW101 pages establish a Goa Hardware Hacking Village where people soldered take-home badges and worked on a hidden hardware/firmware challenge. A public project-owner archive calls a concrete board the Seasides 2026 Roulette Badge, says that more than 300 participants assembled it live, and publishes its C firmware, schematic, and Gerbers. The archive makes this a source-backed maker-documented instance of the village badge, but the official event pages do not independently name the Roulette design or confirm that every village or conference badge used that exact final configuration.
