Aside from being scummy, it's certainly against the rules of any  
professional gaming league, which would make use of such servers  
(criminal) fraud if used to cheat to obtain a cash prize. I'd also be very  
surprised if there wasn't a term prohibiting modification or  
reverse-engineering of the published software in Valve's EULA.

Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done, since SRCDS is a  
publicly available piece of software - anyone can obtain a copy and  
reverse-engineer it with the right tools. (That's also why we have useful  
things like Metamod.) People playing in competetive matches just need to  
make sure that everyone is running a screenshot or video based anticheat  
system like Xray, which would render server-side cheats obvious and  
redundant.
