I don't know what port 500 is, but I saw something similar in my logs:

May 18 04:03:40 xenophobe kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth1 PROTO=17 193.15.225.97:63760 63.203.219.82:500 L=772 S=0x00 I=35765 F=0x0000 T=113 (#36)

There were 6 attempts, spaced less than 15 seconds apart. There's most
likely a new Windows back door that runs port 500, and people are scanning
for it.
