Hi I was just wondering if there was anyway to spoof a computers id
Eg. Make it possible for a computer receiving rednet messages from two computers with the "same" id
For hacking and or systems

1: open creative mode
2: place turtle
3: label turtle
4: break & pick up turtle
5: place multiple copies
6: PROFIT!!!

PS: it also makes all of their programs synchronise

I've heard of this method but I would like to fake the Id for hacking on a server mabye

other than that I don't think it can be done, wait for the frequencies update I guess

Oh well

Well, if it's over bundled cable you could make a copy of the rednet api that uses the id you want (it sent as part of the message, so you just need to send another one). With modems it's not possible, since they take the id of the sender on the java code, so unless you can change the id of your computer (wich isn't possible) you can't do it.

I don't think that will happen:
Having said that we do want to make rednet more realistic.

But I'm working on network peripherals, and there's something like that. It will be on the 1.3.2 update :)/>/>

You could just place a floppy drive next to the original computer and make a disk with the program startup to send false messages
