Is there an IP block lists for Servers ? I see a lot of traffic from ip addresses that seem to probe my measly AWS EC2 instance and I wish there was a list I could feed to my NGINX or IPtables so they would just drop those packets .

Why would you want to block search engines and other crawlers?

I love the search engines ; its the other type of automated crawlers -- its kind of each to spot them by the urls access logs. Once a flaw/vulnerability is publicized, you can see script kiddies' attempting to use that on your site
