ICS Village Badge (DEFCON 2025 Version)

The ICS Village Badge is your hands-on gateway into ICS/SCADA hacking and exploration. Building upon last year’s popular Free-WILI “Whale Tail,” this DEF CON 33 edition expands its capabilities to include both digital and physical environmental sensors — plus ESP32 Wi-Fi, an XYZ Position sensor, infrared transmit/receive, and more.

Interact through a full-color display, responsive buttons and LEDs, and a built-in speaker. Designed by local Detroiti artist Kyle Irving, this full-custom PCB is your ultimate DEF CON companion — ready for experimentation, fuzzing, and hacking across networks, hardware, and protocols.
