In order to get a deeper understanding of network security, I seek to try implement a basic, yet theoretically as secure, version of TOR. Assume I have a function send(ip_adress,port,byte[]), and RSA encryption implemented.

All I can seem to find are articles describing that it simply uses intermediary nodes, is there a good place that offers a succinct explanation (pseudo code if you will) of how to build it from the ground up?

I know basically nothing about TOR, but your post seems strange to me. I thought the whole point of TOR was to have a network of cooperating anonymous servers. How can you make that on your own?

You have a link for reading. My impression is that you need to develop a very basic understanding of what TOR does. Please come back when you have specific questions about your own project.
