There is a copy here: https://github.com/mqudsi/hancock
Not sure what other conclusion Wired was supposed to come to, given that
the provided "Hello World" programs in the paper were all mass
surveillance examples (tracking international calls to given numbers,
tracking data streams to given IP addresses, and tracking specific
connections to a given ISP).
The license in the linked repository is different than the old
password-gated NSL that was applied on the research.att.com pages. I
wonder how many licenses this code was released with, over the years.
