Nginx: how to block Wordpress crawlers?

Question

Nginx

Actually, there is a certain project created NOT on WordPress.
I have logging and sending all errors to the mail (including 404).
Accordingly, bots now regularly send me 404 errors in the mail from bots that are hammered into wp-login, wp-include/..., etc.
Are there any ready-made solutions for blocking such muck on the Nginx side? Suppose all requests to site.ru/wp-*/ are automatically blocked.
Moreover, ideally, there should be a redirect to a page with a captcha, after passing which the IP is unblocked.

Answer 1

location ~ ^/wp-.*$ {
  return 403;
}
