. Specify one or multiple source IPs; tests are designed to avoid impacting normal operations and exclude destructive attacks.
. Use gradual traffic ramp-up to minimize environmental impact.
. Simulations can be scheduled outside peak hours to prevent service disruption.
. Exercises follow predefined scenarios and will be immediately halted if unexpected issues arise.

DoS/DDoS Simulation Methods
Volumetric Attacks
. Flood network bandwidth with high-volume traffic over a short period to assess the target’s capacity.
. UDP Floods, especially targeting port 53 with large packets, are widely used for rapid saturation ("fast attacks").

Application-Layer Attacks
. Overload server resources by sustaining numerous connections to evaluate system resilience.
. HTTP Floods (GET/POST) send persistent requests to exhaust connection slots, commonly known as "slow attacks."
