From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think the best course of action is to get the AS from BGP and whom they belong to. I don't think there's a 100% solution, though. As we've seen with Meta's AI dataset collection, they sometimes do shady things to bypass this. And I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve, once you for example block AWS from Amazon, a decent chunk of the internet and all kinds of people's servers will be affected.
Or maybe look if you can find something on Github. People have compiled all kinds of lists for their projects. Maybe this one: https://github.com/lord-alfred/ipranges
