Re: [tor-dev] Embedding Parrot in Tor as GSoC Project

Hi Jonathan. Are you aware of the Tor control protocol [1]? This already provides an RPC method for other applications to communicate with a Tor instance. Most often this is used via TorCtl which is in Python [2], though there's Java and C# counterparts too.

This gives a means of querying information, receiving events, creating/destroying circuits (which was your initial project idea), etc.

Cheers! -Damian
