I doubt they replaced much of anything. One of their screenshots shows a link to gazpacho for crying out loud. Their interface is basically 3 buttons. I wouldn't be surprised if they have cobbled a Python frontend together on top of open source console tools. Hell, their one 'scanner' screenshot is the standard 770 wireless network locator dialog.
What amateur hour crap. This really annoys me. And the press cries out in their ignorance that this is a first of its kind pocket scanner.

Well, it is a scam. In that it fools the gullible to pay insane amounts of money for something they could have had for basically free.
But there's no rule against making money from Open Source, nor is there a rule that says you have to educate the stupid.
May I suggest someone slashdots this? Those guys love this kind of ripping off the terminally dumb.
Karel: Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the GPL prohibit businesses from reselling peoples' software? If this thing is just a py front end for a buncha commandline apps... ...
What disturbs me is there's three buttons and I haven't seen any output. "Scanning. Scan done. I found some stuff" wouldn't quite cut it... nor do they really get into whether nor not you can actually exploit vulnerabilities as opposed to just detect them.
