All about BFR Files
The BFR file type is primarily associated with BUFR Decoder / Wireshark.
What is a BFR file
BFR files mostly belong to BUFR Decoder / Wireshark. BFR files are not a single type of file but a label used for files from different systems.
For some applications, a BFR file holds meteorological data encoded in the BUFR (Binary Universal Form for Representation) format. These files store weather observations in a compact, binary format that requires a specialized BUFR decoder. More information is available at the WMO website.
In other cases, BFR files are observer packet capture files used for network traffic analysis. Such files are generated by network tools like Wireshark and record details of captured packets. You can review these files with Wireshark (Wireshark website).
Another use is for public bank fee reports, where the file contains data specific to banking fee structures developed under systems like DPEBPACK. In this scenario, the file acts as a report that financial institutions use to archive fee details.
If you have a BFR file, first determine its source:Check any accompanying documentation or metadata. If the file relates to weather data, use a BUFR viewer. If it appears to be a network capture, open it with Wireshark. If it is from banking operations, consult the relevant financial software.
