Did you even try it? And what exactly in this awk statement would
prevent me from inserting mars in this case? The log statement would
look like this:

Nov 27 16:31:21 local sshd[67010]: Illegal user bikermice from mars from
213.134.128.227

In this case, your awk statement checks that argument $6 is
"Illegal" (which it is) and argument $9 is "from" (which it is). So it
takes $10 and prints it (in this case, mars.)

If you check $10 to look like an IP address, I set my username to
"bikermice from 217.14.64.1", you're going to blacklist 217.14.64.1
because it is a valid IP.
