I've heard about it because Brazilian Federal Police arrested an Al Qaeda member (or sympathizer) in Sao Paulo last year and has taken precautions to ensure that his computer was turned on at the moment of the arrest. The software is called Mujahideen Secrets. Schneier has a small article on it: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/02/mujahideen_secr_1.html
