What in Philip Linden’s name is a CryoLife? Well, CryoLife is an alternative Second Life viewer popularly used in copying content in-world. Simply put, it’s a Second Life client used like a CopyBot.

Second Life Herald, in their CryoLife coverage, The CryoLife Papers, has posted a simple script that can detect potential CryoLife users but while I was forum hopping I stumbled upon a better script posted at Ann Otoole’s forum, That Other Life.
