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

[Damian Johnson]

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
