This thesis focuses on the issue of cyberattacks known as DoS (Denial of Service) and DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service), and their testing. The aim of the thesis is to design a systematic methodology for testing these attacks against target infrastructures, taking into account the specifics of various types of targets and attack methods. The introductory chapters provide the theoretical background, defining key concepts, different types of DoS and DDoS attacks, and the legal framework for protecting affected entities. The following section analyzes target infrastructures that may be affected by such attacks. Within these targets, testing scenarios and attack parameters are defined, some of which are subsequently tested. A dedicated chapter then introduces the proposed testing methodology for DoS and DDoS attacks. The final part of the thesis presents the testing results. The outcome of this thesis is a practically validated methodology for testing DoS and DDoS attacks, which may serve as a foundation for future standardization of this process.
