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.

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.

Vibe Coder Dog SAO (DEF CON 33)

Maker-stated DEF CON 33 multicolor-LED Simple Add-On; 2026 leftover pickup only

coryallegory's live Uberflux listing calls this the Vibe Coder Dog SAO, says Science Dog is now Coder Dog, and says the artifact was created for DEFCON 33. The same current listing says a few leftover units are available as a 2026 pre-order for pickup at DEF CON 34 or BSidesLV in Las Vegas. Its August 4, 2026 snapshot lists $15, five sold, and zero remaining, with a free Saturday August 8 BadgeLife Village pickup label. The maker says the unit is fully assembled, has a standard 2 by 3 SAO header, and uses cycling multicolor LEDs to light its keyboard with AI magic. This is source-backed evidence for an independent DEF CON 33-associated LED Simple Add-On, not proof of the original 2025 distribution, a specific controller or actual AI behavior, final 2026 pickup, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

#NOICE SAO (DEF CON 34)

Pre-event 16-red-LED Simple Add-On with a maker-stated fundraiser context

caelyb's live Uberflux listing describes the #NOICE Simple Add-On as designed for DEF CON 34. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace snapshot lists $20, eight sold, and 92 remaining, with BadgeLife Village, LineCon, and Queercon Mixer drop labels plus post-DEF-CON CONUS shipping. The listing names sixteen side-emitting XL-1606SURC red LEDs, a tactile effect button, persistent last-effect memory, and a stated 2.7–3.7 V input range. It says the board has several fast and slow flashing, heartbeat, and breathing/fade effects, includes a lobster-clasp lanyard, and frames the project around the maker's stated concerns about U.S. immigration enforcement. The maker also says a portion of proceeds goes to the Immigrant Defenders Law Center. This is a source-backed pre-event independent lighting SAO record, not verification of the listing's policy statements or donation outcome, final manufacture, electrical safety, host compatibility, delivery, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

Darknet-NG SMAO (DEF CON 34)

Open-source pre-event 125-unit Meshtastic Simple Add-On for DEF CON 34

Darknet-NG's own current badge page identifies the Darknet-NG SMAO as its Level 3 build: a full Meshtastic node in an SAO form factor. The maker's live Uberflux product payload describes a $55 125-unit presale and currently reports 125 sold with zero remaining, no shipping options, and DEF CON 34 contest-booth pickup only; that is a time-specific availability snapshot, not proof of completed manufacture, collection, or delivery. A matching maker-owned, commit-pinned `dcbokonon/darknet-smao` release now publishes the v1.4 KiCad project, fabrication outputs, BOM/placement data, firmware build material, and RF-tuning source, alongside an MIT-licensed official upstream board render. This is a source-backed independent pre-event mesh-radio add-on record, not independent RF/compliance validation, a DEF CON organizer-issued product, conference credential, admission right, or completed fulfillment record.

Firefly Jar SAO (DEF CON 34)

Sold-out pre-event Lepi Labs SAOv3-proposal lighting Simple Add-On for DEF CON 34

Lepi Labs' own Uberflux listing identifies the Firefly Jar as a DEF CON 34-drop Simple Add-On. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace state is out of stock, with 25 sold, zero remaining, and a $25 listed price. The maker describes seven orange reverse-mounted LEDs, an ATtiny824 controller, UPDI reprogramming, vendor commands, and compatibility with Rare Circuit's proposed SAOv3 I2C-based interface. It says the SAO can expose vendor/product IDs, port and command metadata, generic LED controls, and its own lighting modes; the listing also explicitly says it does not support SAOv3 ARP or hot-plugging features. Lepi Labs' first-hand DC34 announcement corroborates planned Friday and Saturday BadgeLife Village drops. This is a source-backed pre-event independent lighting SAO, not proof of final host interoperability, full SAOv3 implementation, firmware release, delivery, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

HackThePlanet SAO (DEF CON 34)

Pre-event 555-timer analog Simple Add-On for DEF CON 34

HogFillet's live Uberflux listing calls this the HackThePlanet SAO for DEF CON 34. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace snapshot lists $24 and a seller state of 19 sold from a listed total of 23. A public DEF CON 34 maker self-submission by FakeBobby / HogFillet calls the same linked product HTP Graffiti and gives the same $24 price; the catalogue treats that exact product-URL match as a source-backed alternate listing name, not a second board. The maker describes a 555 timer clocking a ten-bit ripple counter whose outputs drive eight LEDs through the board's graffiti art, with an onboard trimmer controlling the flash rate. It explicitly says the board has no firmware and no I2C handshake, and says a separate button can be connected to the odd or even GPIO line of the DEF CON badge's SAO header. The listing announces Friday and Saturday Badge Life Booth pickup slots, with mailing or refund offered if a stated drop is missed. This is source-backed evidence for a pre-event independent analog SAO, not proof of final delivery, exact components or circuit values, host behavior, electrical safety, optical safety, conference authorization, admission, or reusable-image rights.

Luna SAO (DEF CON 34)

Pre-event yellow-LED art Simple Add-On for DEF CON 34

delphi's live Uberflux listing calls Luna a simple PCB add-on for DEF CON 34. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace snapshot lists $10, six sold, and 44 remaining, with on-site-only DEF CON 34 pickup and tentative Friday/Saturday BadgeLife Village times. The product says each approximately 57 by 50 mm unit is fully assembled and tested, has a standard 2 by 3 SAO header, and lights a yellow LED in Luna's forehead when connected to the DC34 badge; it explicitly says no adapter is needed. The source supports a real planned light-up art SAO and an independent event-acquisition claim, but not its exact LED part, circuitry, power/current behavior, broad host compatibility, final inventory, completed pickup, DEF CON organizer status, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

METROPOLIS AI SAO (DEF CON 34)

Pre-event red-eye art Simple Add-On with no described AI software

coryallegory's live Uberflux listing calls this METROPOLIS AI SAO and says it is inspired by Maria, the art-deco automaton from Fritz Lang's 1927 Metropolis. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace snapshot lists $20, 20 sold, and ten remaining, with a free Saturday BadgeLife Village pickup label and a pre-order statement for DEF CON 34 or BSidesLV pickup. The maker says each fully assembled unit uses a standard 2 by 3 SAO header and has a red eye that glows when powered through that header. The listing supplies no description of a model, application, controller, firmware, or other artificial-intelligence capability. This is a source-backed pre-event independent LED art SAO record, not evidence of AI software, final manufacture, completed pickup, universal electrical compatibility, use rights in the film inspiration, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

MF Doom SAO v2 (DEF CON 34)

Planned $20 independent Simple Add-On with a maker-stated surface-mount update

Rex's public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response labels MF Doom SAO v2 as an update to an existing SAO, marks it Coming soon, and gives a $20 price. The source-named Reddit account u/Truth-Miserable independently posted MF Doom SAO v2, said a limited original run existed the previous year, and said its parts will be surface mounted this time. Later maker comments describe direct-message preorders and planned local handoff near the Las Vegas Convention Center. These public maker statements establish a real planned independent 2026 v2 artifact, not an official DEF CON issue, admission credential, completed manufacture or delivery, a documented electrical implementation, firmware/source release, a rights-cleared image, or affiliation with MF DOOM or a rights holder.

MalO SAO (DEF CON 34)

Pre-event RP2350B interactive Simple Add-On planned for DEF CON 34

ParallelLogic's Uberflux listing, public MalO_SAO source/design repository, and first-hand Hackaday.io project diary document a planned DEF CON 34 Simple Add-On based on the SCP-1471-A MalO setting. The marketplace's August 4, 2026 snapshot lists $50, 43 sold, and 57 remaining. The repository says the units are intended for online sale and DEF CON 34 handout in August 2026, identifies an RP2350B, 16 MB external flash, 1.5-inch 128 by 128 grayscale OLED, standard six-pin SAO header, USB-C, capacitive touch, potentiometer, buzzer, microphone, hall sensor, IMU, ambient-light sensor, IR transmit/receive, NFC/RFID, and LED banks. Its project diary confirms the work is ongoing and documents early prototype testing. The repository declares the work CC BY-SA 3.0. This is a source-backed pre-event independent badge record, not proof that a final revision has shipped, that all promoted functions are complete, that every radio/sensor interaction is safe or private, that a named third-party lore asset grants image rights, that the project is DEF CON-issued, or that it grants admission.

Monorail Con Badge (DEF CON 34)

Sold-out independent three-SAO monorail badge for DEF CON 34

Zach's Hacks' live Shopify listing calls the Monorail Con Badge sold out and says preorder customers will receive pickup details by email, while noting there may be a few extras to trade in person. Its current public product payload marks all three purchase options unavailable: a $65 badge-and-SAOs option, a $150 bundle option that adds Dani.pink's separately made Laser* Tag Badge DS, and an $80 voluntary extra-payment option. The listing describes a small monorail on a track, a clip for a paper ticket not included, three SAOs, a speaker/mini-SD sound surface, blinky lights, and a regulated 3.3 V supply from two AAA batteries. The maker explicitly says final versions may vary and that it has no affiliation with the Las Vegas Monorail. This is a source-backed independent pre-event badge record, not evidence of final manufactured specification, fulfilled pickup/trade, included transit fare, common hardware/firmware ownership with the bundled Laser* Tag badge, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

Not Just a Crosswalk SAO (DEF CON 34)

Planned open-hardware CH32V003 light-up Simple Add-On for DEF CON 34

The maker-owned public `keeloi79/not-a-crosswalk-sao` repository explicitly calls Not Just a Crosswalk a Simple Add-On (SAO) project for DEF CON 34. Its README documents a CH32V003 F4P6 RISC-V controller, eighteen side-emitting addressable LEDs, persistent palette/effect settings, two controls, 3.3 V host-badge power stepped to 5 V or a USB-C 5 V input path, and claimed SAO V1.69bis/V2.0 compatibility. The source tree includes documentation, schematics, firmware, build instructions, and a three-part license declaration: CERN-OHL-S v2 hardware, GPLv3 firmware, and CC BY-SA 4.0 documentation/creative works. This is a source-backed planned independent DEF CON 34 add-on, not evidence of a final manufactured run, price, sales channel, quantity, pickup, recipient, host-badge test matrix, electrical-safety validation, official DEF CON affiliation, admission right, or rights-cleared badge image.

MakeItHackin's live Uberflux listing describes Root Access as a home-milled Tennessee-cedar add-on built for the DEF CON 34 badge and says it also works with a standard six-pin SAO header. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace snapshot lists $50 and a seller state of 15 sold from a listed total of 100, with BSides Las Vegas and Linq Circle Bar drop labels. The maker's public RootAccess guide independently identifies an ATtiny1616, ten addressable RGB pixels, eleven discrete LEDs, fifty built-in animations, a physical button, I2C address 0x50, and non-volatile USERROW state. It documents standalone operation and host-controlled lighting over I2C, plus separate GPIO 1 and GPIO 2 circuits that can be used as LED outputs or button inputs. This is a source-backed pre-event independent SAO record, not proof of final manufacture, actual drop handoff, every listed compatibility claim, safe electrical integration, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

The marketplace's August 4, 2026 payload shows a $45, 150-unit presale with 28 sold and 122 remaining, two BadgeLife Village pickup slots, and no shipping. It describes a roughly 100 mm beer-cup SAO with a waterproof temperature probe, triple seven-segment display, RP2350 with 2 MB flash, USB-C, and a supplied 180-degree adapter for the upside-down DC34 host ports. The source tree identifies an RP2350A, W25Q16 flash, DS18B20 temperature sensor, RGB-independent brightness control, Pico-SDK firmware, KiCad design files, a versioned UF2, and batch programming/soak-test tooling; it says BCCC winners receive copies while stock lasts. This is a source-backed pre-event independent badge record, not proof of final manufacture, pickup, contest results, host compatibility, temperature accuracy, safety, final firmware, DEF CON organizer endorsement, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

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.
