This years badge is built around an Open Source Badge Case Built Around the Heltec WiFi LoRa 32(V3) with SMA antenna and IPEX connector with Meshtastic.
- This is the First Released Iteration of the Darknet-NG badge for DEFCON 32
- This year we wanted a smaller footprint, that we could hook onto our backpacks and EDC bags to use year round.
