A measurement of the top quark pair production cross section in proton anti-proton collisions at an interaction energy of {radical}s = 1.96 TeV is presented. This analysis uses 405 pb{sup -1} of data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Fully hadronic t{bar t} decays with final states of six or more jets are separated from the multijet background using secondary vertex tagging and a neural network. The t{bar t} cross section is measured as {sigma}{sub t{bar t}} = 4.5{sub -1.9}{sup +2.0}(stat){sub -1.1}{sup +1.4}(syst) {+-} 0.3(lumi) pb for a top quark mass of m{sub t} = 175 GeV/c{sup 2}.
