Cacti Win32 setup info in book "Wireless Hacking"

Post by mikemee »

This is either a shameless plug for a book, or part of the growing recognition that Cacti is getting, or both :-).

I recently authored a couple of chapters in a new O'Reilly/Syngress book called Wireless Hacking. I included 22 pages on how to setup Cacti (0.8.6) and all its required programs on a fresh install of Windows XP. Its in Chapter 7, "Monitoring Your Network". I spent quite a lot of time on this trying to get the steps into a logical and minimal order (and found a few gotchas that I posted to the forums at the time).

I hope this is useful to the Cacti community in some way. I wish I could make the content available directly here via a pdf or similar, but unfortunately it was "work for hire" and I no longer own the copyright.

You can find it here on Amazon (includes referer link which help funds our non-profit work): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... freenet-20

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
