Pre-release
Pre-release
RustShield Modbus Gateway v0.1.0 Lab Preview publishes the first public proof of concept for stateful semantic filtering of Modbus TCP traffic in a local OT/ICS lab simulation.
What Is Included
- Transparent Rust/Tokio TCP proxy for Modbus TCP traffic.
- Strict MBAP/PDU framing and validation.
- Passive observation of read responses for process-state tracking.
- Stateful policy decisions for a protected
Write Single Coilcommand. - Fail-safe blocking for unknown, stale, unsafe, or unsupported write paths.
- Read-only local health and Prometheus-style metrics.
- Reproducible loopback evidence with a synthetic PLC simulator.
- Grafana/Prometheus demo assets for local visualization.

Scope And Safety Boundaries
- Proof of concept only.
- Local loopback simulation only.
- No real PLC validation.
- No production OT safety or security certification.
- No cryptographic authentication claim.
- Not a replacement for segmentation, access control, hardening, key management, or OT risk governance.
