I've been checking my /var/log/secure log recently and have seen the same bot trying to brute force onto my Centos server running webmin.

I created a chain + rule in Networking -> Linux Firewall:

Drop    If source is 113.106.88.146

But I'm still seeing the attempted logins in the log:

Jun  6 10:52:18 CentOS5 sshd[9711]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): check pass; user unknown
Jun  6 10:52:18 CentOS5 sshd[9711]: pam_succeed_if(sshd:auth): error retrieving information about user larry
Jun  6 10:52:19 CentOS5 sshd[9711]: Failed password for invalid user larry from 113.106.88.146 port 49328 ssh2

Here is the contents of /etc/sysconfig/iptables:
