>What is the most logical first attack on the human race from a highly advanced space race?
shooting a meteor at us
if they wanted the planet in one piece for whatever reason, exposing us to a volume of gamma rays
both of these would be simple for any organism capable of inter-galactic travel

This. Grab any big rock floating in space, steer it into earth and we wouldn't even know there were any aliens, let alone have any chance against them.

like clockwork, you guys can't consider the unconsiderable.

Oh, I can consider much, much more. I just pointed out the easiest way to destroy all humans without even revealing one's existence. If they wanted to do it with finesse and no destruction to the planet itself, well, that could get downright interesting. One has to consider that they could have all the time in the world to get things done, and that they may actually want to remove us in a cruelty free manner. Or that they don't wish to eradicate us at all but simply change us into something less offensive.
Personally, I believe that because this universe is infinite there is no motive for a sufficiently advanced species to do anything so animalistic as violence. IF one has interstellar capability there is no need to compete for resources when you can just go find them somewhere else. The only reason to destroy humanity would be a preemptive act of self defense. I agree wholeheartedly that it would be a mistake to attribute human qualities to extraterrestrial life, but the worst case scenario would probably be that the aliens are just slightly advanced versions of us. The best case would be a kind and caring race that would treat us with the same affection I have had for my pets. Middle of the road would be if they just treated the earth as a nature preserve and left us alone, but then it is highly probable we will just destroy ourselves. For all practical purposes, man's only predator is man.
The possibilities are endless, I just hope something happens because I am bored as fuck and absolutely sick of the status quo.
