Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques that include evaluating websites and web services to identify those that are at risk for a denial-of-service attack or a distributed denial-of-service attack. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes interacting, by an assessment computing system, with a target computing system, wherein interacting includes issuing a plurality of requests to the target computing system and receiving a plurality of responses to the plurality of requests; identifying, by the assessment computing system and based on the plurality of responses, a plurality of latency values that are attributable to processing performed by the target computing system; and determining, by the assessment computing system and based on the plurality of latency values, whether the target computing system is vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack.
