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).
