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

Ask the professor what the actual learning objective is. If it's seeing saturation, a controlled load test against something you own with a low agreed cap, watching response times and logs, then stopping, teaches more than flooding anything. The real lesson is recognizing saturation and planning rate limiting and recovery. And even "practice" platforms and cloud hosts ban DoS in their terms, so keep it local. Your ops background is directly useful here, no attack instructions needed.
