The Tor protocol is complicated and most of the data is encrypted.
You're not going to be able to see what's happening there.

What about a trojan that phones home directly, then phones home when the
Tor tunnel is set up, giving its owner a correlation between your True
IP and Tor IP?  Useful, in a black-hatted way?

The noisy protocol has the added benefit of causing the network cable
