I have downloaded my access log file from my cPanel and found I have a bot I would like to stop. In the access log, there User-Agent string reads the following;

88.80.205.219 - - [08/May/2014:23:29:52 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 301 - "-" "-"
88.80.205.219 - - [08/May/2014:23:29:56 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 29019 "-" "-"

What is the proper format in my .htaccess file to block this bot only?

: Does Googlebot support TLS v1.2? If not, what will my TLS v1.2-only site look like to it? I currently redirect all non-HTTPS connections to HTTPS, and support TLS v1, TLS v1.1, and TLS v1.2.

To block all "blank" User-Agents or User-Agents consisting of a hyphen, you could use the following in your .htaccess

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^-?$
RewriteRule ^ - [F]
