What Is the Flipper Zero RS485 Modbus Add-On?
The Flipper Zero RS485 Modbus Add-On is a hardware board plus a companion Flipper app (flipper-rs485modbus) that lets you sniff and inject packets on Modbus RTU industrial networks. Electronic Cats frames it for authorized security testing, aimed at researchers auditing industrial Modbus networks they are authorized to test, since Modbus RTU has no built-in authentication or encryption. The board runs on the official Flipper Zero firmware (keep it on the latest version; custom firmware such as Unleashed is no longer required) and installs like any other Flipper app: download the .fap file from GitHub and load it through the File Manager, no compiling required. From the Main Menu you can open Settings, Sniffer, Sender, Read LOG, or About to build and send Modbus requests and see how a peripheral responds.

- Go to the GitHub repository’s release section and download the latest .fap file.
- Connect your Flipper to qFlipper, Flipper Lab, or the Flipper mobile app (if Experimental Options are enabled).
- Using the File Manager, navigate to the Apps folder.
- Upload the .fap file to the Apps folder (any subfolder is fine, e.g. “Misc”); the app then appears in the Flipper’s app list.
