No. Blocking Tor exit nodes is the only way to block Tor users. In all honesty, there's really no reason to block Tor users anyway, since your website can be attacked with or without Tor.– SuperSluetherCommented Oct 4, 2016 at 3:31

Can you please share some more details: why do you want to block Tor users and what kind of website and processes on it you want to put aside from Tor?– Alexey Vesnin ♦Commented Oct 4, 2016 at 4:50

Supplement: I learned that a malicious user will come to attack using the tor. However, it is difficult to block to find the only malicious user. So I thought trying to block the tor user. Block of only malicious user is the future challenges.– yasatoCommented Oct 4, 2016 at 8:42

A malicious user will also come to attack using the normal Internet. Are you going to block the Internet user too?– SuperSluetherCommented Oct 7, 2016 at 13:06

Tor is just a network instrument, there are many of them... The crime exists inside malicious user's mind, and it has no relation to any tool he uses. So - blocking Tor won't help you a bit, if your task is to protect the website from malicious activities. My good advice to you - forget about 1990-years AtGuard tactiks with a blocklists in txt files: it does not work at all nowdays. Focus on hardening and guarding your website itself, and it will work fine regardless of the connection methods used by user.
