Summary

The Bugcrowd team has successfully created their first-ever DEF CON badge, which combines hardware hacking, firmware development, design, and a touch of Bugcrowd culture. The badge was initially conceived as an internal hackathon project but evolved to include multiple components, such as LEDs, IC chips, and software challenges. To make it more engaging, the team has incorporated a badge challenge with cash prizes for solving puzzles, aiming to promote collaboration among attendees and support Hackers for Charity. The badges will be sold throughout DEF CON, with all proceeds going to this organization.
