Blinging Your DefCon 27 Badge

It’s the start of DefCon 27, which means that hackers are figuring out how to wear the official DefCon badge. This year’s badge has been much easier to wear than the famous record of DefCon 23, but many attendees have found ways to wear it beyond just the standard lanyard attachment. Here are some great versions we’ve seen so far- if you have a creative way you’ve set up your badge, please send them to us at VanitySec!
