SetEnvIf Referer ^$ empty_referer Deny from env=empty_referer But this will also deny some legitimate requests that have an empty referer. It would be a little safer to deny only if both Referer and User-Agent were empty, but you would still block some good requests. In general, 50-70 requests per day is just background noise for most sites and should simply be ignored.
