[[File:Prime-Hack-MenuButton_withText.png|105x118px|right]] '''Hacking''' is the primary way to obtain [[items]] in [[Ingress]]. == Overview == [[File:Prime-Hack-ButtonMenu_withText.png|132x123px|thumb|The hacking menu in Prime. Agents can request a {{Portal Key}}, request no {{Portal Key}}, or initiate a [[Glyph Hacking|Glyph Hack]].]] Hacking occurs at [[Portal|Portals]]. To hack a [[Portal]], the [[Portal]] must be in the Agent's [[Area of Influence|area of influence]]. Tapping on the [[Portal]] will bring up the [[Portal]] menu on the [[Scanner]]. Selecting the [[File:Prime-Hack-MenuButton.png|frameless|'Hack'-button|25x25px]] 'Hack'-button will initiate the Hack. The Agent may also press and hold on the [[Portal]], then swipe left to hack it or swipe down to hack without getting a {{Portal Key}}. Hacking a friendly [[Portal]] will always give the Agent at least one {{Resonator}}. Hacking an enemy [[Portal]] will grant the Agent {{AP|100}}, but the [[Portal]] has a chance to [[counterattack]]. However, community studies suggest that enemy [[Portal|Portals]] are more generous with {{XMP Burster|s}}. == [[Medal|Medals]] == The following [[Medal|Medals]] can be earned by hacking [[Portal|Portals]]: {|- style="text-align: center" | {{Bronze}} || {{Silver}} || {{Gold}} || {{Platinum}} || {{Onyx}} |- style="text-align: center" | [[File:Hacker-bronze.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Hacker}}|link=Hacker]] | [[File:Hacker-silver.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Hacker}}|link=Hacker]] | [[File:Hacker-gold.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Hacker}}|link=Hacker]] | [[File:Hacker-platinum.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Hacker}}|link=Hacker]] | [[File:Hacker-black.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Hacker}}|link=Hacker]] |- style="text-align: center" | 2 000 || 10 000 || 30 000 || 100 000 || 200 000 |} <br /> The following [[Medal|Medals]] can be earned by hacking [[Portal|Portals]] via [[Dronenet]]: {|- style="text-align: center" | {{Bronze}} || {{Silver}} || {{Gold}} || {{Platinum}} || {{Onyx}} |- style="text-align: center" | [[File:Maverick-bronze.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Maverick}}|link=Maverick]] | [[File:Maverick-silver.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Maverick}}|link=Maverick]] | [[File:Maverick-gold.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Maverick}}|link=Maverick]] | [[File:Maverick-platinum.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Maverick}}|link=Maverick]] | [[File:Maverick-black.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Maverick}}|link=Maverick]] |- style="text-align: center" | 250 || 1 000 || 2 000 || 5 000 || 10 000 |} <br /> The following [[Medal|Medals]] can be earned by completing at least one Hack in consecutive 24 hours periods: {|- style="text-align: center" | {{Bronze}} || {{Silver}} || {{Gold}} || {{Platinum}} || {{Onyx}} |- style="text-align: center" | [[File:Sojourner-bronze.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Sojourner}}|link=Sojourner]] | [[File:Sojourner-silver.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Sojourner}}|link=Sojourner]] | [[File:Sojourner-gold.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Sojourner}}|link=Sojourner]] | [[File:Sojourner-platinum.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Sojourner}}|link=Sojourner]] | [[File:Sojourner-black.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Sojourner}}|link=Sojourner]] |- style="text-align: center" | 15 || 30 || 60 || 180 || 360 |} <br /> The following [[Medal|Medals]] can be earned by completing at least one physical (non-[[Dronenet|Drone]]) Hack for 7 consecutive days: {|- style="text-align: center" | {{Bronze}} || {{Silver}} || {{Gold}} || {{Platinum}} || {{Onyx}} |- style="text-align: center" | [[File:Epoch-bronze.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Epoch}}|link=Epoch]] | [[File:Epoch-silver.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Epoch}}|link=Epoch]] | [[File:Epoch-gold.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Epoch}}|link=Epoch]] | [[File:Epoch-platinum.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Epoch}}|link=Epoch]] | [[File:Epoch-black.png|60px|{{MedalCaption|Epoch}}|link=Epoch]] |- style="text-align: center" | 2 || 4 || 8 || 30 || 60 |} == [[Glyph Hacking]] == {{main|Glyph Hacking}} [[Glyph Hacking|Glyph hacking]] is a special hacking operation that Agents can initiate to increase the [[Portal|Portal]]-Hack's output, accessible by pressing and holding the 'Hack'-button in the [[Portal]] menu, and swiping to the [[File:Prime-Icon-Glyph.png|frameless|Glyph-button|25x25px]] [[Glyphs|Glyph]]-button. This will cause a [[Glyph Sequences|Glyph Sequence]] to be received and displayed on the [[Scanner]], which the Agent must memorize and return as input in the right order as quickly as possible. Successfully [[Glyph Hacking|Glyph hacking]] a [[Portal]] will award the Agent with bonus [[items]] and {{AP}}. == [[Cooldown]] == {{main|Cooldown}} After a successful Hack, a [[Portal]] cannot be hacked again for a certain period of time. The [[Portal]] has to [[Cooldown|"cooldown"]] before it is safe to hack again. [[Cooldown]] typically lasts 300 seconds (5 minutes) for neutral and aligned to the opposite [[Faction]] [[Portal|Portals]], and 180 seconds (3 minutes) on [[Portal|Portals]] aligned to the Agents’ [[Faction]], but can be lowered by installing a {{Heat Sink}}. The rarity of the {{Heat Sink}} determines the reduction in [[Cooldown]], with rarer giving higher reductions. Installing a {{Heat Sink}} will immediately clear the [[Cooldown]], no matter the rarity. == [[Burnout]] == {{main|Burnout}} After hacking or [[Glyph Hacking|Glyph hacking]] a [[Portal]] a certain amount of times, the [[Portal]] will not be able to be hacked any more due to it [[Burnout|burning out]]. This so called [[Burnout|"Burnout"]], and lasts four hours after the first Hack. Usually, [[Burnout]] occurs if four Hacks are made within four hours, although the number of Hacks can be increased by installing {{Multi-Hack|s}} and the [[Burnout]] counter can be reset altogether using {{Heat Sink|s}}.
