Accessing Portals, known as Portal Hacking, is the primary way to get resources.

Portals allow an agent to hack every 5 minutes, to a max of 4 hacks every 4 hours.

To do almost any action in Ingress, you need to have specific Items:

Resonators
Weapons
Mods
Powercubes

These are acquired from hacking portals.

There are different ways to hack every portal.

When you are on top of a portal the hack icon will become clickable. Tapping on this button will allow you to hack the portal. If you hold down the Hack button you get three options:

Glyph hacking
Key Hacking
No-Key Hacking

Hacking and Portal Levels

While some items have a ‘rarity value’, others have a level value between one and eight.

The highest level of items you can hack is either your level +1 or the portal’s level +1 up until level 8.

A level 4 portal will give out a majority of Level 4 items, with a few items from level 3 or 5. If you hack a level 7 portal but you are only a level 3, you will still only get level 3-4 gear, as you level up you will need higher level portals to gain access to higher level items.

Glyph Hacking

Holding down the hack button on a portal will start a mini-game called Glyphing.

Glyphing is a game of memory where you need to memorise the glyphs as they appear, and input them after the timer has started.

The more glyphs you get right, the more AP you gain. Glyph hacking also nets more items than regular hacking.

Key Hacking

The second option you can see when you hold down the hacking button is a key hacking option. Prime allows you to gain keys even if you already have a key in your inventory by simply selecting this option.

No-Key Hacking

The third and final option allows you to hack the portal and obtain items but NO key.

This is helpful to save space by not having the keys clog up valuable inventory space.
