FBI Spyware Undetectable

For the first time it was reported that the FBI is using a new software called a "computer and internet protocol address verifier," or CIPAV in order to track down a potential criminal. It retrieves far more than the IP address; it gets the MAC address, open ports, currently running programs, and much more. Supposedly, the normal spyware detection programs won't detect this kind of software. Let's hope it doesn't get into the wrong hands.
