Sudppipe change source engine join name?

One of my friends is able to connect to a source engine server, and when he joins it shows <anythinghechooses> has joined the game. Although his Steam name remains normal, and once he gets in-game it's the same as his Steam name.
I'd assume that he is editing the auth packet - would it be possible to do this and connect through Sudpippe?
Thanks

sure, the nickname is contained just in the first connection packet:

Code:

        b = 0;
        b = write_bits(-1,      32, buff, b);
        b = write_bits(0x6b,    8,  buff, b);
        b = write_bits(proto,   32, buff, b);       // protocol
        b = write_bits(3,       32, buff, b);
        b = write_bits(chall,   32, buff, b);       // challenge
        b = write_bstr(buff, b, nickname, -1);      // nickname
        b = write_bstr(buff, b, "", -1);            // certificate?
        ...

How would I go about doing this?

if you know C, the Source protocol and take a look at the source code I released almost one year ago you already know what to do and test.
