I want to rent a botnet and point it at my own website + service stack so that I can better understand how they work and protect myself against it.
I’m looking for things like automated web scraping, targeted ddos, llm generated fake comments and stuff like that. Basically, I want to test my services against my stuff before I launch.
I don’t believe this is illegal as I’m targeting myself for education.

I’d hire a cyber security firm. Most firms can test how your website handles under specific kinds of stress like ddos or malicious webscrapers. They can also advice you on the axtuak risks and how to mitigate them.
