Umm what about the new ip addresses that are added to the tor network?

This wouldn't really be a complete fix.

Not to mention that:

1] Some of the IP addresses in this module won't be matched properly, as they
   contain leading spaces.

2] More importantly, this module could be replaced with some extra Apache configuration (Deny stanzas), or by iptables configuration, assuming you
   aren't brain-dead enough to run a web server under Windows.

3] Even more importantly, this module's author fails to recognize the existence of anonymous HTTP proxies, which are - if anything - easier and more commonly
   used than TOR.

4] Even MORE importantly, this module's author fails to recognize the importance of hardening a server against attacks, rather than trying (and failing) to
   block possible sources of attack.
