DDoS Resilience Assessment — stay online when it matters most

Every minute offline costs revenue, trust and customers. We safely simulate denial-of-service attacks against your applications and infrastructure — in a controlled window — to prove your defences hold before a real attack tests them for you.

Overview

Don’t find out your limits during a real attack

DDoS protection often looks perfect on paper — until a real flood arrives. We run carefully controlled attack simulations, coordinated with your team and providers, to measure where services break, whether mitigation kicks in and how fast your team responds.

  • ●SLA penalties and angry customers
  • ●Extortion demands from attackers
  • ●Damage to your brand’s reliability
  • ●Smoke-screen attacks hiding other intrusions

What we test

What we put under pressure

Click a category to see what we look for — and a real example of what we find.

Network-Layer Floods

Volumetric and protocol attacks on your infrastructure.

WHAT WE TEST

  • UDP & SYN floods
  • Amplification attack resilience
  • Upstream & ISP mitigation
  • Firewall & load-balancer limits

EXAMPLE FINDING

SYN flood at controlled rate
→ load balancer saturated
HIGH

Application-Layer Attacks

Low-and-slow attacks that look like real users.

WHAT WE TEST

  • HTTP GET/POST floods
  • Expensive endpoints (search, login)
  • Slowloris-style attacks
  • API abuse

EXAMPLE FINDING

Search endpoint at 2k req/s
→ database CPU 100%
HIGH

CDN & WAF Protection

Whether your shields really stand in the way.

WHAT WE TEST

  • CDN & WAF configuration
  • Origin IP exposure
  • Bot mitigation
  • Geo & rate rules

EXAMPLE FINDING

Origin IP found via old DNS record
→ CDN bypassed entirely
CRITICAL

Rate Limiting

Limits that stop abuse without blocking customers.

WHAT WE TEST

  • Login & OTP endpoints
  • Search & export functions
  • Per-user & per-IP limits
  • Graceful degradation

EXAMPLE FINDING

No rate limit on /api/search
→ easy resource exhaustion
HIGH

Architecture & Scaling

How your design copes with sudden load.

WHAT WE TEST

  • Auto-scaling behaviour
  • Single points of failure
  • Caching strategy
  • Dependency bottlenecks

EXAMPLE FINDING

Single database instance
→ whole site depends on it
MEDIUM

Detection & Response

How quickly your team notices and reacts.

WHAT WE TEST

  • Monitoring & alerting
  • Escalation to providers
  • Runbooks
  • Communication plan

EXAMPLE FINDING

First alert after 11 minutes
→ no DDoS runbook
MEDIUM
Process

From plan to proven resilience

FAQ

Questions before you start

Is a DDoS test safe for our business?−

Yes. Tests run in an agreed low-traffic window, ramp up gradually and can be stopped instantly. We coordinate with your providers in advance.

Do you need permission from our hosting provider?+

Usually yes — we help you get approval from your cloud, hosting, CDN and ISP providers before testing.

Which services can you test?+

Websites, APIs, mobile backends, VPNs and other internet-facing services.

Do you help us fix what you find?+

Absolutely. Every finding comes with clear, step-by-step fixes, and our team stays with your developers until the critical issues are closed.
