Ethical DDoS drone network

Super risky.  This would be a 99% legal worry plus.  Unless all the end points and networks they cross sign off on it the risk is beyond huge.

Say for instance one wanted to create an "ethical botnet," how would
this be done in a manner that is legal, non-abusive toward other
networks, and unquestionably used for legitimate internal security
purposes? How does your company approach this dilemma?

Our company for instance has always relied on outside attacks to spot
check our security and i'm beginning to think there may be a more user
friendly alternative.

Thoughts?
