C++ with Tor

Hello everyone,

Some months ago I heard that some botnets make use of The Onion Router to keep their C&C anonymous. How does this work?

I program in C++ and I want to connect to servers anonymously with my program. Ofcourse I can just use a VPN or proxy but the Tor network seems to be good enough to get the job done aswell.

Can I compile Tor in the program or do i need to "hook" the program on the Tor application? And how do i do this?

Thanks,

Niels
