Troopers 23 Badge Challenges

Troopers conference is known for its fabulous hardware badges. This year, we were given an ESP32-base badge. In an workshop, we could solder a Shitty-Addon with colored LEDs and a connector for a remote control. In addition, the badge was featuring 2 challenges. Similar to CTF-challenges, when solved, the challenges would give you a token, you’d submit the token on a local troopers website, and get raffle tickets after a given number of points.
