How to open NBE file?

The main problem with Nessus Report Format is that the NBE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that NBE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NBE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Nessus

In this case, you should first verify that the Nessus application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Nessus into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file NBE.

Programs to open NBE file

Remember to download programs supporting NBE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Nessus with NBE files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NBE file to open in the Nessus application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NBE file with the Nessus application.

Step 3. Update Nessus to the latest version

If, however, after binding Nessus with Nessus Report Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Tenable Network Security page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NBE file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to NBE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NBE or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected NBE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NBE files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NBE file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Tenable Network Security
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NBE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move NBE to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NBE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the NBE file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
