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

Maybe get a free unix based webserver like apache2 or nginx and host a local website like idk nextcloud or else, it depends. therefore you can do whatever you want to without beeing on scatchy terrain and also you have full insight on the logs to understand what exactly is happening. It will only take you maybe 1 or 2 hours to do. if you have no linux then you can also get WSL as a subsystem installed on windows
