For DEFCON 24 I thought it would be fun to hand out a deodorant badge. We’ve all heard the comment “We should hand out deodorant at DEFCON” but not many people then go on to do anything about it. My goal was not to cause offensive, but to hand then out to people who asked for one. The hardest part of this build was the hole that the deodorant went in to. I purchased 12 different travel sized brands in order to make sure they would all fit.

The NoVA Hackers is an infosec group from the northern Virginia DC area. As a member I thought it was time we had our own DEFCON style badges while in Vegas (much like many of the other infosec groups).
