What is it?

This badge was made for HOPE XIV in New York City. It was inspired by the security device known as a "Spider Tag" and features circuity and a demo to act like a Retail Store security tag. It also features the internals of real security tags on the bottom of the badge (both 8.2 MHz and 58 kHz).

Watch the YouTube video for a demo!

The badge has three modes: 1- Spider Badge Demo: When the Link is broken, an alarm sounds, and is deactivated with a magnet (just like the real thing!)

2 - SH0PL1FT3RS RUN: An interactive video game in which you jump over retail security gates

3 - Flashy Mode This mode cycles through different LED animations and screens to show off during the conference. You can run through the mode once, or keep looping it.

Included:
Electronic Spider Badge (Fully Assembled)
LiPo Battery
Alligator Clips
USB-C cable
USB-C to USB-A adapter
Magnet
Stickers (HOPE and DEF CON)

Why did you make it?

I'm giving a talk at HOPE covering Security Tags and thought it would be fun to make this!
