===Black Badge===
The Black Badge is the highest award DEF CON gives to contest winners of certain events. [[Capture the flag (cybersecurity)|Capture the flag]] (CTF) winners sometimes earn these, as well as Hacker Jeopardy winners. The contests that are awarded Black Badges vary from year to year, and a Black Badge allows free entrance to DEF CON for life, potentially a value of thousands of dollars.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tangent |first=The Dark |title=DEF CON® Hacking Conference – Black Badge Hall of Fame |url=https://www.defcon.org/html/links/dc-black-badge.html |access-date=2016-03-12 |website=www.defcon.org}}</ref>
