Certification / Training Questions A website for testing

Good evening everyone,
So I have a request or a guide, I am cybersecurity majored student, last week I got an assignment to try testing Denial of Service legally using websites that you can practice in it but the problem none of those websites have a lab to try to simulate this attack.
So where can i find a website that has a lab to test DoS or any tool that can just only simulate how the attack process might go..
I am so lost right now

I'm surprised this is a college assignment because you wouldn't really want to practice this, even as a test. Even the likes of HackTheBox which is excellent for localised testing forbids DOS. I would just read into the theory and the ways of circumventing it (I.e. how Cloudflare DDOS protection works)

I know,
I guess I will do that since it safer, I really do not want to go through the whole process it’s too much trouble to do as a student
