Best way to catch all that at login/register.

Use this in Full Waf mode:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/ninjafirewall/

Blocks most bots. Nothing much you can do for manual registrations.

And if you are technically inclined and you do not want the above, use this:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/cidram/

I use BOTH, tuned of cource so the second plugin doesn't do the same job as the 1st. CIDRAM only to block what needs to be blocked. Still not easy to configure and use. So back to the Ninja Firewall.
