Related, some free and open source projects are using Anubis
<https://anubis.techaro.lol/> to keep most of the beggars off.  The
Anubis source code is shared on GitHub.

Another popular one is go-away.  go-away also provides its source code
via git <https://git.gammaspectra.live/git/go-away>.

There are other choices for that type of firewall, see
<https://git.gammaspectra.live/git/go-away#other-similar-projects>.
