Did anyone come across a formula for the calculation of the glyph hacks? There seem to be many questions and attempts at it but I couldn't find any definite answer.
How are the glyph hack bonuses calculated

Best Answer
The formulas in this post on glyph hacking are based on extensive field testing.
Relevant part from the post:
Hack bonus:
Bhack = 10 × Gcorrect + P × BperfectSpeed bonus:
Bspeed = P × ⌊100 × Tleft ÷ Tlimit⌋AP:
APbase = 50 × GcorrectAPbonus = 20 × P × 20.5×Gcorrect
AP = APbase + APbonus + Bspeed
where:
Example: Suppose you perform a perfect glyph hack on a L7 portal with 5 seconds left. Your hacking bonus would be 10% × 4 + 1 × 80% = 120% (4 correct glyphs and perfect hack bonus). Your speed bonus would be 1 × ⌊100 × 5 ÷ 16⌋ = 31% (5 out of 16 seconds left). Finally, you would earn 8 glyph hacking points and 50 × 4 + 20 × 1 × 20.5×4 + 31 = 311 AP.
