Install & Use PortaPack on HackRF

How to install & use the portapack addon with your HackRF.

Greetings fellow pwners! Today, we will show you how to install & setup the portapack addon onto your HackRF.


Download Required Files

To flash your HackRF with the Portapack firmware, download files, found here: https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/releases. I recommend you to install the nightly version, because it has more features. Note: You don't need to download all of the files. Just download the firmware and "COPY_TO_SDCARD" if you want the world map, if not, then just download the firmware and "COPY_TO_SDCARD-no-world-map"




Unzip all of the files

Well, just unzip all of the files...


Flash the firmware to the HackRF One

After you've unzipped all of the files, plug in your HackRF to the computer and click on flash_portapack_mayhem. This will open up a command prompt window, and it will try to flash the firmware to the HackRF. If this doesn't work, then if you are using Windows 11, right click inside the folder and click on open in terminal. Then just type flash_portapack_mayhem.bat and press enter. You could see now why it couldn't flash it.
