Learn how to open or convert NESSUS files. The NESSUS file type is not meant to be opened directly. There is no software that can open and work with .NESSUS files directly since they contain internal data. However, the Nessus software itself utilizes and processes the data in .NESSUS files.
You may see .NESSUS files if you use Nessus network scanning software. These files store information from security scans performed by Nessus. While you cannot view the contents of a .NESSUS file directly, the Nessus software accesses the scan data stored in these files. The data is stored using XML formatting.
