Portapack H4M + HackRF
Portapack H4M + HackRF
The PortaPack H4M is a stand-alone, all-in-one portable SDR device based on the HackRF framework. The pre-flashed MAYHEM firmware provides vital out-of-the-box functionality for pentesters: Receive / Transmit / Replay / Scan, with dozens of baked in high-level functions: GPS-Spoofing, Jamming, Key-Fob tools, ADS-B/AIS, Bluetooth, and much, much more.
This all-in-one device includes the HackRF + PortaPack in a fully-assembled, rugged injection molded ABS case - no extra hardware, cables, modification or soldering required.
While the HackRF One redefined the pentest/hacker community as a completely affordable, hugely capable, open-source SDR device - it required an external computer, software and advanced knowledge to use. The H4M gives you the power of the HackRF - it's still usable directly - but also the flexibility of a compact, rugged device that requires no external devices.
The H4M Advantages
The PortaPack H4M is the first truly integrated, all-in-one PortaPack.
Previous versions had usability, power and quality issues. The new H4M architecture has several new features and advantages. Likewise, it uses the latest revision of HackRF hardware and firmware, the Rev 10.
