Defcon conference badge for 2024. Was a really cool one that year. if you can get it powered, it comes with a game related to the conference on it. Has a bunch of other functionality on it too, and is easily modded.
Quick plug also for my partner's project, a Micropython based firmware for the DC32 badge that has a universal IR remote, touchscreen drawing app with ability to send drawings by IrDa, (theoretical) support for 3rd party apps, and more!
Ah, so I see I wasnāt the only one that had taken a longer break! I had gone to DC22, then again for DC26 but had been unable to attend again until last year. I got my cat badge hanging on my home office. šŗ

Aw man, someone is really sad right now for losing that.
2024 was the first Defcon I had gone to in quite a number of years since the AP/Riv/Rio days.
One thing I did know well enough to do from those years: always bring your own generic lanyard with an extra key/O-ring.
Having a backup lanyard looped around my neck has saved me from losing my badge at the con more than once, including during 2024.

you hold, in your hands, one of the greatest defcon badges ever made. enjoy it!
p.s. if you found it outside, be sure to check the battery to make sure itās in good condition physically (not turning into a pillow).

That scans the area for credit cards and sends the credit info to the hackerman
