Do you mean the tute or the site as a whole is a hoax?

Check their FAQ-made me laugh:

F.A.Q.

Q: What does the Neighborhood Network Watch do?

A: The Neighborhood Network Watch, goes out into the community to identify
publicly used networks and to collect samples of network traffic or data
that is being transmitted and received over the network. This data is then
analyzed to see if it contains any terrorist related or threatening network
traffic that maybe endangering both the community and our nation.

Q: What sort of things are in the traffic you collect?

A: Virtually everything being transmitted or received over a network. Most
commonly this includes, emails, instant messages, and web pages that have
been browsed.

Q: Can you really read my emails and instant messages?

A: Absolutely, in fact almost anyone on the same network as you can do the
same thing. In fact we can even reconstruct images transmitted.

Q: Isn’t this invading my privacy?

A: In many ways yes, but in a post 9-11 world the government and most
communities across the United States, believe that these sorts of measures
are necessary to prevent our nation from being attacked by ruthless
terrorists. In fact privacy is a relative term with a definition that is
constantly being redefined. Especially so in the highly technologically
mediated world we live in today.
