This is a custom-designed kit for the Aerospace Village at DEF CON 28 Safe Mode. Due to popular demand we're bringing them back for DC 29!

Details for purchasing a fully assembled badge or a kit with all the parts will be linked on our site aerospacevillage.org.

This badge is an actual antenna! All you need to do is add a battery, the SMA connector, and an SDR dongle (easy to order from Amazon) to receive a variety of signals depending on which engine you connect to.

During DC 28, the professor and student who inspired this concept will demonstrate how it works. Check out our website to find a link to their original paper, along with a link to the full design on github, which was created by another talented Village volunteer, so you can dig into its inner workings. We'll also post detailed instructions in case you need some help during assembly.

While this badge is a great project and souvenir for DEF CON, it was originally designed as a teaching tool for STEM outreach to middle and high schools providing an easy way to demonstrate key scientific concepts.
