About This Museum

Unofficial fan project. Not affiliated with or endorsed by SAINTCON or UtahSAINT.

SAINTCON is Utah's annual cybersecurity and hackers conference, organized by the UtahSAINT community and known for its custom electronic badges.

2017 (HITB Minibadge 2017), 2018, 2019, 2020, 2023, 2024, and 2025 are built from compukidmike's source (2017 third-party licenses, 2018 third-party licenses, 2019 third-party licenses, 2020 third-party licenses, 2023 third-party licenses, 2024 third-party licenses, 2025 third-party licenses); 2021 is built from the badge created by compukidmike, Professor_Plum, and Sodium_Hydrogen (2021 third-party licenses); 2026 is built from Professor-plum's MIT-licensed source (2026 third-party licenses). The 2022 badge runs the UF2 binary from compukidmike's repository (2022 third-party licenses), because no source is published.
