Omnivore was the FBI's second generation of online monitoring software, which many people believe evolved directly from a commercially available application known as Etherpeek. The FBI used Omnivore to monitor a designated Internet service provider's (ISP) e-mail traffic and keep track of e-mails originating from a suspected perpetrator. After intercepting and copying information sent from the party under suspicion, Omnivore would either print hard copies of the e-mails or save them to a secure back-up drive. Omnivore was abandoned in 1999 in favor of the Dragon Ware Suite, which was a comprehensive Internet monitoring software package that let the government reconstruct a target's entire profile of online activity.
