Personally I'd ban 192.187.125.*
That IP range is all dedicated servers. So, either it's a bot or a proxy. Either way, no big loss if it's totally banned.
If you want to ban everything from Datashack in IP tables, the CIDR is 192.187.96.0/19
--------------- Added [DATE]1381185254[/DATE] at [TIME]1381185254[/TIME] ---------------
I just noticed that the error is a 'File does not exist' error. So hard as they may try, the attempt is doing nothing other than taking up processor power from your site.
If it's a dedicated server, I'd install fail2ban and automatically ban the IP after 2 or 3 'File does not exist' errors.
