Ok. I know its not possible to change a computers ID without access to the world file. I also know you cannot change your computers ID in any other way. But can I possibly intercept messages via rednet. I would like to relay rednet messages but I need to first intercept the message. I can create a Java class to do this but is their another way?

Modem channels. Research them.

You can fake your ID in programs and everything else (except for the folder the computer is accessing)

function os.getComputerID()
  return whateverid
end

or just wrap the modem, then modify the return channel
much better than confusing computer ids
