Re: [twitter-dev] Re: A new permission level
In any security or permissions context the default should be the most secure and least amount of permissions to get the job done. That is Computer and Network Security 101. A user must explicitly configure more loose permissions on their own after understanding the implications. This is the way computer network security is and always has been done. This is part of the reason Linux/Unix et al is way more secure than Windows ever could be. Just because a user isn't sophisticated enough to configure more lax permissions to get their needs met isn't a reason to default to lower the security context. This is what FB did _completely_ wrong when they updated their permissions system. They defaulted everything to being completely open, accessible and public for purely selfish reasons. They wanted to keep more user data 100% public thus increasing the amount of public and free (as in $ to FB) user-generated content created every day. More pageviews, more pics, more comments equals more ad revenue for them. Even though it's a pain in the ass for developer's to rework their apps and re-auth it's the right thing to do for the end user and the overall safety of the community. I commend Twitter for doing the right (even if unpopular) thing in this case. Damon On Thursday, May 19, 2011 at 1:50 AM, janole wrote: Hi Matt, thanks for your feedback.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: A new permission level
Janole None, taken. I am a network sysadmin, developer and ultimately businessman so I do know a little bit about how they are all related. I understand you are in a slightly different position having to deal with xAuth. However, xAuth is not a secure system in itself. Any system that passes a user and password through a third party cannot be secure. Yes you are supposed to discard the info after the initial tokens are exchanged and received back, but there is no proof that actually happens. A third party still had access to my username and password. From a purely network and security standpoint xAuth should be done away with in lieu of newer more secure methods where no one other than myself and the service I am accessing know my password. For that matter, the service shouldn't know my password either beyond when I submit it as it should be hashed and that token saved instead of the raw password. Authentication then involves comparing two hashes instead of two raw text passwords. In your case you are limited by the the underlying OS from achieving a traditional OAuth flow. Your work around sounds like it will suffice and is no less potentially insecure than the existing if properly setup. You say you know nothing about your users under the current system, and that's the way it should be. But that is you in your specific case, being I'm sure an honest developer. Allowing insecure methods to continue though, lowers the security of the whole. It only takes one bad app to screw a bunch of users and ultimately it's Twitter who would have the proverbial egg on the face. The app developer would be banned and forgotten. I'm not happy about this change being forced down everyone's throat so quickly as much as the next developer. In my option more levels of privacy and security should have been rolled out all at once instead of this one change. This change fixes one minor problem when a more broad change to add finer-grained permissions could have been rolled out and affected third-party developers not much more than this current one. I also suspect as you hinted there may be other more selfish reasons partly behind such changes and have written several articles about the subject. http://bit.ly/lFZuZC But as I said... from a purely network and security standpoint the changes are sound. Economics and competition may be a different story. damonp On Thursday, May 19, 2011 at 11:14 AM, janole wrote: Damon, with all due respect and in all politeness, have you even read what this thread is about? Do you really think an xAuth application - that knows the users full credentials - is getting more secure without the right to access direct messages? I mean ... really ;-) We both do not know why Twitter tries to introduce this change. I have a feeling what it is about, but it's definitely not about user privacy or security if it comes to xAuth applications. OAuth apps, granted, different story and I could live with that change. But as I am not using OAuth, I leave it to the developers affected to voice their concerns. They should know better. For me, who needs to have xAuth access to provide my users access to Twitter - actually to provide it to the Symbian platform ( biggest smartphone OS worldwide, 2010 ... ) - these changes are not good. And my users do think the same. Most of my users love Twitter and I try to provide a client that makes them use Twitter a lot - because I love Twitter, too ( well, better to say, I am addicted to Twitter. ) I just don't see any reason why this privacy related change couldn't be implemented in a way which does NOT break so many applications. We are also talking about preloaded mobile apps here - apps that cannot be changed quickly - or cannot be changed at all. My planned work-around for this xAuth change ( I still hope it is being reverted! ) will include running a Twitter service for authentication. That way, I would have access to my users' OAuth tokens. I don't like that. It imposes a great risk to me and my servers being hacked. So far, I do not know nothing about my users via my Twitter client. No password, no credentials. I like it that way. More secure for my users. As for Linux, yes, we all know Linux is way more secure.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: A new permission level
Ole- You make some very good points, but you can't use the tired users create poor passwords argument as a reason to stick with outdated security protocols. By that logic, no security upgrade is worth the time because some dumb users are going to foil you every time. If a user wants to chose a poor password and share it across all accounts, that's his business. You will never be able to stop that in a consumer situation such as this (ie. you have a lot of inexperienced users who could go elsewhere). On closed networks, you can disallow simple passwords and force password changes every few months. That's why professionals like you and I exist. We enforce state of the art and create systems as secure as we can given the constraints of the architecture (which your workaround is attempting to do). Many users will take advantage of all of the enhanced security and many won't. But everyone had a choice to educate themselves and use the most secure method they chose. Disclosing the fact that you could have had access to your user's accounts involves your customer's perception, not the reality. You did, in fact have access to their accounts. You may have taken care to secure and/or discard the data but not every developer is as conscientious or as honest as I'm sure you are. That is PR issue you and a few other developers in similar situation are about to be forced to deal with unfortunately. I feel for you. Apple did similar when they would not allow Flash on iOS. IMO, it was the right thing to do for their platform at the time. Flash sucks processing power and is inherently insecure. You can't have your phone lock up and ring 30 seconds late because some Flash advert or game was pegging out your mobile processor. It's a phone first. Did it also help them in the long run not to help a competitor? Obviously. It also forced developers to learn iOS and code for it specifically, not just make Flash apps based on an aging platform. In trying to get away from xAuth as much as possible, Twitter is obviously trying to take the third party out of the authentication equation and that in itself is a positive step towards a more secure system for Twitter. Does it hurt us developers and cost us money in redevelopment? Obviously. Is it a step towards clearing the slate of a lot of client competition? cheers damonp -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: https://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: https://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: https://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/twitter-development-talk
Re: [twitter-dev] A new permission level
On that day when your users open up our various clients and see issues with direct messages I suggest you insert your own DMs to your users with succinct descriptions to the root of the problem and links to further info. It looks like there is no way to prevent having to update apps for those that can, but you certainly have the platform and your customer's eyeballs at the exact point of failure to explain. We all know not everyone is going to read the email we are all dreading to send, at least this way we have another method to get the point to them at the exact time they need it.

This has very very little to do with privacy. Especially for the developer that wants to abuse accounts, this doesn't stop them and serves no real purpose. And putting it to the media as we having access to their DM's is misguided at best. Users now think we are reading their DM's and have access to monitoring their conversations. Which is just crap. This is all about clients having a large control over the twitterverse and the mismanagement of the situation by Twitter execs. Seeing us instead as competitors for the same resource. To disguise this as a security issue is laughable at best and a bit insulting. You have to realize the benefit Twitter is getting to know why they are doing this. It isn't mandatory to break all the client apps to make this change, but its convenient for Twitters current attack scheme on client apps. This will cause mass exodus from 3rd party apps. If you have an app now, you are about to face a wave of pissed off people and bad reviews. There is no way you can realistically avoid this, and they know that. Thats the real meaning for this not because we all wanted it and have been requesting it. No serious Dev would want this. Maybe we want some more security options like Facebook has but we don't want to ruin our relationship with our customers to get it. Twitter should hire some people with sense enough to know how to work with developers. It is no secret that Twitter is at war with the devs, so just tell us yes or no. You want us or you don't. Opening up for developers helped grow Twitter, now they don't need us anymore so they want to weed us out because we control too much of their market again, the same market we all created for them. All this whole thing does is make people weary of client apps with saying we can access their DM's and then a whirlwind of confusion and complaints from our users will guarantee we loose many many users. Think about the normal person that uses tweetdeck. They will load the all, see nothing, and think its broken. If they figure out they need to confirm their info again and accept new permissions, they will be confused and weary as to why they have to do that.

Re: [twitter-dev] A new permission level
Frank- Correct me if I'm wrong, but the applications won't quit working altogether. You'll get a 403 error when trying to access DMs through the API. Everything else should work as normal. Has there been a better official answer if this affects Twitter's own apps other than this: Will Twitter's own applications also go through the OAuth web flow? We’re taking this step to give more clarity and control to users about the access a third-party application has to their account. The way users interact with Twitter’s clients is not expected to change. Applications who wish to access a user’s DMs will need to update their application permission and incorporate the OAuth web flow if they don’t already. If an application does not need access to DMs it will not need to make any changes.

Re: [twitter-dev] A new permission level
Frank- http://dev.twitter.com/pages/application-permission-model-faq The way I read the FAQ posted is _only_ apps requiring DM read access will be affected under the following endpoints: /1/direct_messages.{format} /1/direct_messages/sent.{format} /1/direct_messages/destroy.{format} /1/direct_messages/show.{format} These will receive an HTTP 403 with: {errors:[{code:93,message:This application is not allowed to access or delete your direct messages}]} In fact, it explicitly says: Yes. Read/Write tokens can send direct messages using direct_messages/new. Which doesn't quite make sense from a security standpoint... but I'm not going to argue. Unless this is all PR spin, the only thing that seemed unclear was whether Twitter's own apps would require re-authorization into the new perms. The only thing that addresses that was what I posted previously: Will Twitter's own applications also go through the OAuth web flow? We’re taking this step to give more clarity and control to users about the access a third-party application has to their account. The way users interact with Twitter’s clients is not expected to change. Applications who wish to access a user’s DMs will need to update their application permission and incorporate the OAuth web flow if they don’t already. If an application does not need access to DMs it will not need to make any changes. Which says they'll be subject to oAuth web flow... but as I understand it, they already are. It says nothing about the re-auth steps for the own apps. Maybe someone from Twitter will provide a more clear response regarding re-auth of their own apps instead of an ambiguous answer.

Not effecting us now, but when that change takes hold, I imagine all our tokens will be basically unauthorized because its an all new permission request, thus forcing each user to accept the new authorizations before they can use the app to communicate with the Api. Also I spoke unclear earlier about all apps failing. It will only be ones that use DM as a feature. Which is basically any client app. I just assume everyone here is effected by the DM permission change in some way, so I say all our apps. But little Twitter apps that just read and write won't be effected at all. Because Twitter isn't afraid of them, just client apps. Also there is no way Twitter will make themselves do the same thing.
