Talking LED presenter wearable
A source-backed BSidesPDX 2020 presenter wearable artifact documented by the public PDX Badgers `2020-mask` repository, built as a voice-reactive LED face-mask project for the all-digital conference year rather than a conventional attendee badge.
Estonian Security BSides participant badge and soldering project
A source-backed Estonian Security BSides badge record: the official BSides Tallinn 2022 page says each participant received a special legacy-theme badge that was also a DIY soldering project with custom configurations.
Arduino-programmable rubber-ducky badge
The BSidesSF 2022 Hardware Village badge is a source-backed pre-assembled badge distributed in limited quantities to village participants for Arduino-programmable rubber-ducky experiments.
ATtiny402 DeLorean PCB-art conference badge
An electronic PCB-art conference badge documented by its maker and badge sponsor, Punk Security, for BSides Cheltenham 2023. Punk Security's own dated event listing identifies its June 3 Cheltenham appearance as that year's badge-sponsor engagement, names a talk on building the BSides Delorean badges, and describes them as functional conference badges. The public `bsides-cheltenham-2023-badge` repository calls the artifact the Delorean badge, reports that parts sold for badge completion on the day raised more than £300 for Mind, and preserves EAGLE, Gerber, library, and Arduino firmware material. Its parts list names an ATtiny402, button, CR2032 clip, NeoPixel, and 3528 blue LED. The reviewed sources do not establish organizer-side 2023 confirmation, venue, production quantity, attendee allocation, individual handoff, final unit-by-unit configuration, completed assembly count, safety validation, or reusable image provenance.
Documented conference-badge-to-Wi-Fi-analyzer soldering activity
A public BSides Greenville 2023 event listing says the Circuit Board Medics Soldering Village would help participants solder and transform a conference badge. A contemporaneous BSidesGVL announcement says the conference badges could become Wi-Fi analyzers and identifies Circuit Board Medics as the team that designed the badges. A public attendee report after the event says that its author made a Wi-Fi analyzer at BSidesGVL. Together, these sources establish a real event-linked badge-conversion activity without identifying the original board or the resulting analyzer's components.
Greek Security BSides electronic circuit badge and soldering challenge
A source-backed Greek Security BSides electronic circuit badge record: the recovered official wrap-up says participants received an electronic circuit badge, soldered it until it lit up, could reuse it as a breadboard, and found that it contained secrets.
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.
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.
CircuitPython IR trading badge
The BSidesPDX 2024 badge is a source-backed OpenTaxus badge customized for Portland's Security BSides event, documented by the official Badge Talk page and the PDX Badgers public repository with RP2040-class hardware, OLED display, five-way d-pad, infrared trading, NeoPixels, AA or USB-C power, CircuitPython, and event-game code.

The BSidesSF 2024 Hardware Challenge Village badge is a source-backed village badge used for electronics tinkering and a competitive badge CTF contest at City View at Metreon, with attendee-report evidence for a screen, joystick, battery or USB-C power, and badge-to-badge clue exchange.
Indian Security BSides badge-sponsor and soldering-village record
A conservative source-backed BSides Agra 2025 badge record from the archived official site and official social trail, documenting an IOTSRG Badge Sponsor role, all-attendee collectible-badge framing, and a hands-on soldering village without asserting an unrecovered final circuit.
ATtiny402 skull PCB badge
A completed BSides Bournemouth 2025 electronic PCB badge created by the event's badge sponsor, Punk Security. BSides Bournemouth's official 2025 page establishes its Bournemouth 2600-led community cybersecurity conference and reports 200+ attendees; the Security BSides schedule records the August 16 date. Punk Security's own event page identifies it as badge sponsor and calls the artifact a Punk BSides skull badge, while its post-event repository identifies the Skull Badge and preserves EAGLE, Gerber, Arduino firmware, vector, and printed-art material. The archive names an ATtiny402, button, two CR2032 clips, and 5050 NeoPixel. The sources do not establish a production quantity, attendee allocation, individual handoff, final unit-by-unit configuration, safety validation, or reusable image provenance.
PY32F030 OLED and NeoPixel badge with role variants and Metro add-on
BSides CDMX 2025's Electronic Cats repository documents a Security BSides CDMX badge built around a Puya PY32F030F28U6TR, NeoPixels, OLED display, two AAA battery holder, Shitty Addon connector, role-specific KiCad hardware variants, a Metro add-on, public firmware, release HEX files, and BOM assets.
ATtiny402 pirate-ship badge with venue treasure-chest interaction
A completed BSides Exeter 2025 electronic PCB badge created by the event's badge sponsor, Punk Security. Organizer ticketing and Security BSides sources establish the April 26 conference at The Forum, University of Exeter; Punk Security's own event listing identifies it as badge sponsor. Its post-event public repository identifies the pirate-ship badge, says it was given out at BSides Exeter, preserves EAGLE, EasyEDA, Gerber, badge/chest firmware, and chest-model material, and describes a venue treasure-chest interaction for unlocking additional LED modes. The archive names an ATtiny402, button, CR2032 clip, and 5050 NeoPixel for the badge. The sources do not establish a production quantity, attendee allocation, individual handoff, final unit-by-unit configuration, chest count or deployment, safety validation, player outcome, or reusable image provenance.

Its README names an ATtiny412, one button, CR2032 holder, and 5050 NeoPixel. The sources do not establish a production quantity, attendee allocation, individual handoff, final unit-by-unit configuration, safety validation, or reusable image provenance.
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.
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.
Badge Pirates ESP32-S3 touchscreen conference badge with a later firmware path
The BSidesKC 2025 badge was a Badge Pirates fully electronic conference badge documented through public production and fulfillment updates: 250 fully assembled ESP32 touchscreen badges from PCBWay with 3.2 inch touch screens, Wi-Fi, SD card slots, customs delays, tariff impact, and post-event pickup or shipping handling. A current maker-hosted flasher identifies its target as ESP32-S3, while a 2026 Badge Pirates announcement says the delayed 2025 hardware, not a new board, received a Lunar Lander contest continuation for BSidesKC's Ad Astra programme.

The Early Bird tier is shown as sold out before the October event.
Ticket-included Indian conference identity artifact
A conservative Indian BSides Chennai 2026 identity-artifact record from the organizer's ticket page, which listed an Event Badge among the Last Bird ticket inclusions. The official schedule places the event on May 30 at Turyaa Hotel OMR in Chennai; its current ticket page remains a pre-event sales snapshot rather than proof of handoff.
Optional organizer e-badge ticket add-on paired with a distinct 2026 source archive
BSides Fort Wayne's organizer ticket page offered a $30 optional e-badge add-on for the June 6, 2026 conference. The public BSidesFW2026Badge repository has distinct June 2026 activity, including a dedicated STLs/2026 enclosure set and default badge data changed to 2026, together with MicroPython source and inherited V4 technical documentation. The evidence links a real optional e-badge offer to a 2026 source archive without claiming a confirmed sale, physical receipt, firmware deployment, or exact final hardware configuration.
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.
Current capacity-managed conference admission badge
BSides Las Vegas's official 2026 registration and ticketing sources call this a Participant Badge required for general conference access. The official registration page documents on-site pickup and separate queues for different badge types, while the ticketing page says a participant badge is required separately for Training Ground classes. It is recorded as a current identity/access artifact, not an 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.
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.
Planned Indian Security BSides identity artifact
A conservative planned Indian BSides Mumbai 2026 identity-artifact record from the organizer's provisional October 3 programme, which schedules badge pickup during morning registration and breakfast. The organizer's pass page identifies admissions and goodies but does not describe a badge entitlement or the credential's form.
Attendee badge-package non-electronic challenge coin
Official BSides Nashville 2026 event information says each attendee badge included a BSides Nashville 2026 challenge coin. The organizer's public feed later re-shared an attendee note about receiving coins. This record models the source-backed coin as a physical, non-electronic badge-package companion artifact; it does not use an Electronic Badge Sponsor line as proof that a 2026 electronic board existed.
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.
Planned Illinois Security BSides badge with sponsor-logo surface
A conservative planned Illinois Security BSides conference-badge record from organizer sponsorship material. The BSides Peoria 2026 call for sponsors says organizers are locking in badge runs, and the official 2026 prospectus includes a Logo on Badge sponsorship benefit. The official home places the October 24 event at Bradley University, but these pre-event sources do not establish a final credential form, electronics, ticket inclusion, allocation, or delivery.
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.
Indian Ocean BSides identity badge
A conservative BSides Reunion 2026 identity-artifact record for the participant badges and goodies distributed at the first documented Reunion Security BSides edition.
Icelandic Security BSides printed badge and merchandise sponsorship trail
A conservative Icelandic Security BSides identity-artifact record: the official BSides Reykjavik 2026 event page anchors the March 18, 2026 Valur FC Club House conference, and the official sponsorship package lists Platinum sponsor logo placement on badges and merchandise.
Official Tampa badge/lanyard challenge and Uber Badge award trail
BSides Tampa 2026 is represented here by official attendee-badge and badge-challenge sources: the current FAQ says every participant gets a badge and lanyard, the badge-challenge page tells attendees that their badge is part of the puzzle, and the Uber Badge page records the lifetime-admission award path for badge-challenge winners.
Source-conservative afterparty admission identity artifact
BSidesKC's current 2026 activities page says attendees had to present a BSidesKC badge for afterparty entry. Together with the official event page, that establishes a 2026 badge-linked admission artifact; it does not identify a material, design, QR/barcode, RFID/NFC, electronics, or whether it was the separately documented 2025 Badge Pirates hardware.
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.
