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.

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.
