Here is a snippet of some old code from CSG. It checks for hex, and if a player's name is just hex (which some people do, I don't know why), it will assign them a random name.

-- Remove hex 
function removeHEX(oldNick, newNick) 
    local name = getPlayerName(source) 
    if newNick then 
        name = newNick 
    end 
    if name:find("#%x%x%x%x%x%x") then 
        local name = name:gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x","") 
        if name:len() > 0 then 
            setPlayerName(source, name) 
        else 
            setPlayerName(source, "Player"..tostring(math.random(10000,99990))) 
        end 
        if newNick then 
            cancelEvent() 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, removeHEX) 
addEventHandler("onPlayerChangeNick", root, removeHEX)
