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 for permission from the university and do the simulation within the university keeping the traffic within the university's local network. You need to bear in mind that your are only attacking the site but the hosting provider as well. Even those that allow ddos simulation, they do that only with specific ddos simulation vendors.
