This is a fork of the Havoc firmware, which itself was a fork of the PortaPack firmware, an add-on for the HackRF. A fork is a derivate, in this case one that has extra features and fixes when compared to the older versions.

PortaPack H2+HackRF+battery (clone) with a custom 3d printed case

If you are new to HackRF+PortaPack+Mayhem, there is an awesome introductory video by Tech Minds available:

This repository expands upon the previous work by many people and aims to constantly add new features, bugfixes and generate documentation to make further development easier. Collaboration is always welcomed and appreciated.

✔️ A recommended one is this PortaPack H2 pack, that includes everything you need. Sadly, the people making the H2 never made the updated schematics available (against the terms of the license).

✔️ Another popular option is the clone of the PortaPack H1.

⚠️ Be cautious , ask the seller about compatibility with the latest releases. Look out for the description of the item, if they provide the firmware files for an older version or they have custom setup instructions, this means it might be NOT compatible, for example:

⚠️ If it looks too different, this might mean that they are using their own recipe, check the different models in our wiki. For example all the H3 and clones of that version use their own version of the firmware. They do not contribute the changes back and eventually you will be left with a device that nobody maintains:

The current stable release is on the page. Follow the instructions you can find in the release description. The latest (nightly) release can be found here.

You can write documentation, fix bugs and answer issues or add new functionality. Please check the following guide with details.

Consider that the hardware and firmware has been created and maintain by a lot of people, so always try collaborating your time and effort first. For coding related questions, if something does not fit as an issue, please join our Discord by clicking the chat badge on top.

To support the people behind the hardware, please buy a genuine HackRF and PortaPack.

As a last option, if you want to send money directly to me for getting more boards, antennas and such:

If what you need can be relevant in general, you can request a feature.
