First, strip out the timestamps and whatnot :
nessus -i report1.nbe -o report1.nsr
nessus -i report2.nbe -o report2.nsr
Then sort the reports :
cat report1.nsr | sort > report1_sorted.nsr
cat report2.nsr | sort > report2_sorted.nsr
Then diff them :
diff report1_sorted.nsr report2_sorted.nsr > stuff_i_have_to_work_on.txt
