Cyber-physical systems (CPS) have been increasingly attacked by hackers. Recent studies have shown that CPS are especially vulnerable to insider attacks, in which case the attacker has full knowledge of the systems configuration. To better prevent such types of attacks, we need to understand how insider attacks are generated. Typically, there are three critical aspects for a successful insider attack: (i) Maximize damage, (ii) Avoid detection and (iii) Minimize the attack cost.
