 Coming up on DTNSD, you need to worry about the log jam vulnerability that's tearing up the Internet, Minecraft, and beyond. Well, Shannon Morse is going to tell us, plus Microsoft really tried to have cloud gaming in the iOS App Store, it really tried. And there's a clever offline solution to EV chart. This is the Daily Tech News for Friday, December 10th, 2021 in Los Angeles on top merit. And from Studio Redwood, I'm Sarah Lane. From Studio Colorado, I'm Shannon Morse. Draw on the top tech stories from Cleveland, I'm Len Peralta. And on the show's producer, Roger Chang. There is a long version of this show where we range into other topics and talk about West Side Story and all kinds of cool stuff. If you want that show, it's called Good Day Internet, available at Patreon.com slash DTNS. And speaking of Patreon, big thanks to our top patrons. Today, they include Philip Shane, Paul Boyer and Brad. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. Google will bring the Play Games App to Windows PCs in 2022, letting Windows 10 and 11 users play Android games. Players will be able to resume games on a PC after starting to play them on an Android device or a Chromebook. Games will run locally. Google developed this as a native Windows app and doesn't use the Windows subsystem for Android. Xbox Game Pass for PC is no more. It's just changed its name. It's now called PC Game Pass, still uses the Xbox logo. Otherwise, the service is the same and the combined Xbox and PC service is still called Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Facebook announced two new tests for live chat support features for English-speaking users. One provides live chat support for creators who don't have an assigned relationship manager for things like questions on new features and payouts. The other provides chat help for those who've been locked out of their accounts. Apparently, there are quite a few of you. Oh, Canada, you are not left out of the 15-minute grocery delivery trend. Vancouver-based Tiggie announced it has funding to get more dark stores up and running in Vancouver and expand into Toronto. Tiggie offers fast delivery with no minimum charge or extra fees. That's a cute name, Tiggie. The information sources say that Meta Platforms, you know, the parent company of Facebook has reorged its artificial intelligence group into the Reality Labs unit, which develops AR and VR products. The AI team, which works to detect harmful content on Facebook or has, you know, pretty much up until now, will now focus its work on Metaverse-related projects. Meta Platforms, that's my dad. Call me Facebook. All right, let's talk a little more about this Microsoft thing. Sean Hollister over at The Verge, happens to be my brother-in-law, did a great job digging into the emails of Epic and Apple and getting some comments from Microsoft. Apple, as you may know, does not allow alternate app stores and so does not allow game apps to offer multiple games. Each game has to be a separate app, even if it's streaming. There's other reasons beside the app store, but the upshot is you can't have a game store, even if the games are at no additional cost. Emails disclosed as part of the Epic versus Apple trial show that in March 2020, Microsoft proposed creating individual apps for Apple's app store to every game it wanted to stream as part of the Microsoft Cloud Gaming streaming service called Project XCloud at the time. And they even tried to sweeten the deal by mentioning some AAA Xbox exclusive games might be made available on iOS and nowhere else. Be the Xbox and iOS, it'd be the only place you could play them. The only thing Microsoft wanted to do was make the game apps smaller by using the streaming engine in the main Xbox Cloud Gaming app. So the Cloud Gaming app you download, that would have the streaming engine and then each game you would download would use that app to do the streaming. You'd still have to download the games app, but you wouldn't have to replicate the whole streaming engine in every copy of every game. That would reduce the game apps from 150 megabytes to 30 megabytes and that would mean that each game would not need a separate update every time you needed to update the streaming engine. Microsoft told the Verge that Apple rejected those proposals as it required every game to include the full streaming stack. Now Apple says that they denied the proposal because Microsoft didn't want to integrate Apple's in-app payment process for in-game purchases. So, for things like in Halo, you get in-game items. Microsoft was like, yeah, that seems like a lot of work. We don't want to do a large amount of redundant API work. We'll still pay you somehow. We just don't want to have to redo that. Microsoft says, no, it wasn't the payment stuff, pointing out that it offers Xbox Cloud Gaming in Google's Play Store without Google Pay integrated and that's fine. Of course, Google allows all kinds of things that Apple does it. Microsoft makes Xbox Cloud Gaming available on iOS through a web app now. If you're like, wait a minute, I thought they were there. You just have to get it through Safari. But I don't know about y'all, Shannon and Sarah, but to me, this just feels like it's not about greed in this instance, because this doesn't help Apple make more money to be such a stickler about this. This is just Apple saying, I'm sorry, we have rules and we blindly follow them, whether they make sense or not. Yeah, Apple is sounding a little stingy here. And to me, it doesn't make that much sense as a user because it's frustrating to see Apple make these decisions when I know if they had a little bit of leeway and allowed Microsoft to do this, then it would be so much better for a user experience. It's disappointing. I think, I don't know. I mean, the way that I see this is, it's a little bit of like, ooh, we're a fly on the wall of whatever corporate meetings where Microsoft said, look, Apple, we're offering you something pretty great for you and Apple's saying, nope, nope, nope, same rules for everybody. And I think when you're Apple, especially in Apple's current legal climate, if you were to allow Microsoft to have a bit of a sweetheart deal where Microsoft gets what it wants and Apple gets some exclusive Xbox games that you couldn't play in a mobile way otherwise, that sounds great, but Apple knows that that opens the floodgates to all sorts of other companies to say, well, if you did that for Microsoft, it's kind of how Apple and Amazon were accused of having sweetheart deals in the not too distant past. Same thing where Apple has to kind of stick to its guns even if it means it loses out on something pretty cool. I just, I look at this and I'm like, I get the chain of logic of like, well, we don't allow this. And so if we allow this, then someone will say, well, I'm just doing what Google is doing with Stadia, even though they're not and they'll try to get around the rules, except they already make exceptions. They make exceptions for Amazon, Kindle. You have reader apps. They said, okay, we'll make an exception. We'll allow you to access services. Remember the whole thing with the email service? We're like, well, you're not a reader app, so we're not gonna allow you. Make an exception. You're always gonna have lines when you're making rules. Make an exception for streaming game services. They're brand new. You didn't contemplate these when you made your original App Store rules. I don't know why they're being so intractable about that. Well, it's Apple, Tom. All right, well, here's some good news. If you happen to have an EV vehicle or thinking about getting one, the next web's Kate Lawrence has an interesting write up on the EV charging system that works without internet connectivity. If you are an EV car user or just a user of anything mobile, you might notice that parking garages never really have good connectivity. Remote locations sometimes don't have any. A company called Zeal, that's X-E-A-L, created the system using NFC and a distributed ledger running on a blockchain. They call it the no internet for things. Get it? Cause it's a thing, but it doesn't need internet. Here's how it works. First, you need a phone with NFC. So some of you, many of you are already still in the game here. When you have an internet connection, when you have that connection, you need to install the app and connect account, connect the payment method, et cetera, all the usual things. Then when you park your EV and plug it into charge, you don't actually need that connection cause you've already set it up. You tap your phone's NFC against the charger, you start charging. A time-bound cryptographic token is provided when you were connected to the internet back when you first connected and that will identify you to the charger cause you're already in the system. When you finish charging, you tap again and you're done. The next time you're connected to the internet, the app will update everything and your payment is processed. You might be thinking though, well, hold on a second, why would I need a blockchain and couldn't I just not connect to the internet again and get free charging? If you're not connected to the internet, how is it ever gonna process your payments? The first is the answer to the second. When you connect to the charging station by NFC, you're not only exchanging your cryptographic token but you're also updating the charging station's blockchain to your app. So the next time you're connected to the internet, that update is passed along. You could delete the app, I guess, and try to avoid syncing your charge. However, think of this as the blockchain. The next person to use that station might not. So your transaction is going to get uploaded when they connect to the internet because it's all interlinked. The system also has the added benefit of being unavailable for remote attacks and the distributed ledger is resistant to attacks on the database itself. It's pretty genius. It's so cool. I'm really excited about this. Not because I have a electronic vehicle in the EV and I can't really use it personally quite yet, but just the fact that they were able to put together NFC, Near Field Communication, which in the security sense, it does require, you know, an attacker would need to be somewhere in that like line of sight in that locale in order to be able to attack it over NFC. But also just the fact that they were able to figure out how to do this is very, very futuristic in a sense. I mean, go ahead, Shannon, sorry. And I do wonder like how they would be able to implement this in other ways for people that don't necessarily have EVs. Yeah, I mean, that's a great question, right? Because I think the most genius part of this is someone saying, well, hold on a second, maybe I can circumvent pain altogether. And it's like, no, you're part of the record. You're on the ledger. Yeah, that's the beauty if you understand the distributed ledger and how blockchains work is one of the reasons they are so robust is there are thousands of copies of the blockchain. So even if you are successful at changing one of the copies, you'll get outvoted because there's all these other copies out there going, no, no, that transaction belongs to that. And so you can't get away without paying because then I guess if it's a really remote location that only has like one person charging every couple of months, might be able to get away with something once but that's hardly worth it at that point. So this really does propose a way to do reliable connectivity offline. And the company is also looking at other ways to use this like smart door locks, for access control, things like that. Where again, the lock would not have to connect to a network and therefore would be resistant to hacking. I mean, I think about things like this working in the future for something like my, what is it called, the easy pass or whatever I use to go across the bridges in the Bay Area. That all is part of a physical thing that I have in my car. If for whatever reason, that physical thing isn't noted when I go through, my license plate is scanned and I get a bill eventually. You know what I mean? Like it will catch up with me. This just seems like a much more streamlined way to do the same thing. Yeah. I'm trying. Now you got me thinking like, what are the blockchain advantages for fast pass for that? Yeah, fast pass. For tool systems, that kind of stuff. Public transport. Easy pass. It's been a while. I think there is one out east called easy pass. Okay, yeah. There is and fast pass and there's all the passes. Anyway, we have some more exciting news. Smart Home Company Eve is known for having an Apple-like design and Apple HomeKit compatibility, which is great for you Apple users. Not so much for me, but it will be soon, which I'm very excited about. Apple stores carry their products. They make home security products like motion sensors, camera, smart plugs, light switches, power meters, air quality monitors, so much more. Most recently, smart blinds. So cool. Eve was also one of the first device makers to release thread-based products. Now thread is a standard being widely adopted to replace older tech like Z-Wave and Zigbee. It needs a router that supports it, such as an Eero or most smart assistance. Thread goes hand in hand with the matter protocol for interoperability. About half of these products support thread now and the company is launching thread-enabled versions of its water sensor in February, its portable lamp in March, and its hardwired wall switch and motion sensor shortly thereafter. Now all of this is in preparation to support matter when the standard officially launches in June. Matter support will start with the Eve Energy Smart Plug, Eve motion in door and window sensors in June, with everything but the camera supporting matter by the end of the year. Eve cameras use Wi-Fi, not thread, which will work with matter, but cameras are not a part of the matter protocol at launch. Now the upshot is, this is my favorite part, all of that Eve product and devices, all of those different devices, they will be able to keep their promise of not using the cloud to manage your devices, but they can extend that compatibility to Google, Samsung and Amazon devices. So I'm looking forward to the day that I will be able to use Eve products with Android devices. Yeah, the Eve stuff is not only nicely designed, people tend to admire its design, but it is also committed to being off the grid. They don't wanna use a cloud service, they protect privacy, this is all local, which is why they use HomeKit only, because it's very difficult to implement a lot of these other protocols without somehow getting on the internet. And matter will make it and thread so that they can support more platforms without ever having to compromise on that, without ever sending a bit out of side of your home network. They'll just use thread to control things, which makes me wanna get an Eve camera, because then I know if my Microsoft Duo and my iPhone will both be able to control it, no problem, because it's just gonna use thread. I won't need a hub, I just need a router that's compatible. I happen to have an Eero router, so I'm already good there. This is one of the promises of matter that I think is going to really open people's eyes of like, oh, I can stop thinking about all of these things. Like, will this work with that? Now, I think this is great. I think there may be a few people, especially since we had a matter conversation this week about why it's good, what companies are super on board, and what the limitations might be for consumer rollouts in the near future. If someone says, well, okay, I have a thread-based product and that works with matter, wasn't the idea that matter was supposed to be built into the product? Well, yeah, and that's a really good point. Thread is one of the ways of communicating and it's built alongside matter, to be like, here's the, if you don't wanna use Wi-Fi, here's a great protocol that's matter compliant right out of the box. ZigBee and Z-Wave can still work with matter. There are ways to do that. It's more complicated on the developer side. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, they also can work with matter. Matter's the protocol for once you've sent your signal through the air, here's how we make sure everybody's speaking the same language. So, and we have an interview with Stacey Higginbaugh of the Month know a little more if you wanna go beyond that, but that's kind of the way to think of it. Matter is the platform and thread is the transmissions. So to speak. Yeah, makes your smart home devices work nicely with matter. Yeah, and you can do matter without thread. You could actually do thread without matter, but they work nicely together. Nice. Folks, we love to hear what you want us to talk about on the show. I look at it every single day to find out. It's our subreddit. You can go submit stories and vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com. Security researchers at Alibaba discovered a huge vulnerability now being called log for shell or log jam in a common Java element. And thank goodness, Shannon is here to help us understand it. Here are the basics. Log for J is an open source Java based logging utility. It's used by a lot of companies. Logging is really important when you're running a server and log for J is one that a lot of companies have implemented. However, it reached its end of life and was replaced by an entirely new product. It's not a version number. This is an entirely new type of logging called log for J2 on August 5th, 2015. However, as we all know, not everybody always upgrades to the new thing and it stuck around in legacy software. And it's everywhere. Web front ends, network appliances, legacy APIs and particularly where it was first noticed, Minecraft servers. Those depend on older versions of Java run times for mod compatibility. It's also been identified as being part of Steam and Apple's iCloud servers. It's incorporated into lots of server suites, including several Apache frameworks, which is one of the reasons it's everywhere. Alibaba's security team reported the exploit to Apache on November 24th. It lets attackers run malicious code on the server or client running Java with log for J. Proof of concept code is out there. It was posted on GitHub Thursday and CERT NZ, New Zealand has warned of exploits in the wild. So this is not just theoretical. Shannon, let's start with, how does this vulnerability work? Like what's the action here? Okay, so it's kind of complicated but for an attacker themselves, it would be relatively simplistic. So when it comes to log for J, that's pretty much in charge of logging and it's something that user wouldn't necessarily be paying attention to. And when implemented on an application, it's just collecting this data and if any codes are thrown at it, any kind of scripts, then it will execute on that code on whatever is returned. So for an attacker, it's really easy to exploit this bug since basically like millions of applications are currently using this framework, this technology on their back end to make things easier for themselves and like practically nobody ever updates their things. So an attacker would simply be able to exploit this with a log message. So one of those examples could be a chat message. They could put a specific script, a little line of code, something that's malicious into a chat message or into a text box. One example I saw on the GitHub page for the proof of concept and some of the examples that I saw showed the Apple login screen for Apple ID and you put this malicious code into the text box for the login page and that would execute the code from log for J. So this is relatively scary to look at as a user and it's not something that a lot of users would necessarily know how to protect against but it's something that network admins and application developers need to pay attention to. So it sounds like if you scan around and find that a vulnerable version of log for J is being run on the Apache server, you could just go onto that server, let's say it has a Minecraft server running and you send a message that has a code string in it and boom, you're in. Is it that easy? It's not that hard to exploit, it sounds like. Yeah, it's relatively easy as far as what I have read from a lot of the information security nerds that I follow on Twitter and a lot of my friends, they've pretty much come to the conclusive finding that this is a really easy thing to use and that's why the CVE for this attack has gotten the maximum score of 10. So it's extremely severe because it's so easy to execute and an attacker doesn't need to be in the server room with a server for an application, wherever it's built. It can be remote, it can be completely remote, they just have to figure out which of these apps is vulnerable and if they're spraying and preying this attack at whatever they want, it's possible that they could find them relatively easily. All right, so what do companies do? If they're using log for J, what can they do to stop this? So luckily Apache did release an update, which thank the Lord, I'm glad they did. So there is another option that you do have is to set this thing called a system property to true and that's for the log for J lookups. So you have to go into your command line, the programming, the scripting for this log for J and change that to true and then remove this other class lookup, this class called, I think it's J and DI lookup, which I don't understand completely what that means, but that's what you can do if you're an application developer or somebody that's in charge of the application. So I imagine most of us are just hoping that the apps and services we use do that or have already done that. Is there anything we can do on our own to defend against this? So I did ask around for some recommendations from my friends who run their own applications and one recommendation is make sure that whoever is running your Minecraft software or your server, make sure that they are updated and they are aware of this attack and they know how to update. And then hopefully they will be able to manage that and once that's done, make sure that you are updating your software and be very aware of whatever servers you are entering into, make sure that you're not going into any unknown servers and check the open source software as well to see which version of Log4J your specific server is using. Another option you can do and this was also recommended to me by an expert in the field is sometimes as a user and this is mostly for prosumers, you can look at the shell script or a batch file for the software that you are running and oftentimes you can see the same argument about changing the lookups to true that I had mentioned previously. So you can sometimes change that on your application's end, the user end. So that's a potential that you could do but it's not necessarily something I would recommend to every user. So the biggest takeaway here is SysAdmins please patch, patch, patch, you're a patch, patch, patchies. Thank you. Yeah, exactly. It's not necessarily something that users would need to, well, you got to worry about it but it's not something that's easily fixable on the user end. So network admins, developers, please update. Well, as we march toward the end of 2021 lots of companies have year in reviews of sorts depending on the platform. Twitter is no exception. The company released its 2021 rankings. Some of these are US based specifically, some of them are global but it includes things that were tweeted about the most. So in the US, the most tweeted about streaming show of the year, drumroll please, Squid Game, not a huge surprise. WandaVision and Loki, both on Disney Plus were number two and three. Fourth place was iCarly on Paramount Plus and Ted Lasso at number five on Apple TV Plus. Now, as far as all US TV, not just streaming but just TV in general, you get classics like Sesame Street, SNL, Game of Thrones. Well, not so much a classic anymore. Jeopardy, Grey's Anatomy. Those made the top 10, that's what Twitter includes just television, not necessarily something that you streamed. In reality TV, The Bachelor saw the most tweets followed by RuPaul's Drag Race, The Voice, American Idol and The Real Housewives of Atlanta, personal favorite of mine. Due to overall popularity, Twitter gave Korean entertainment its own category for the first time. Although K-pop group BTS was the top tweeted about music group globally and fourth in the US, that's not in any category, that's just a fact. Taylor Swift was the top tweeted about female musician in the US. She was also number two globally behind BTS. The Most Like Tweet in the US from a celebrity came from Olympian Simone Biles. She made a lot of news at the Tokyo Olympics over the summer and Manchester United was the most talked about sports team worldwide. As for tweets that were quoted, and yes, Twitter does break that out into a separate category as well, the top tweet came from Nick Jr., celebrating Blue's Clues 25th anniversary. Well, that fits with my 2021. This is always fascinating stuff. We'll have a link to the main Twitter blog if you wanna dig into this and stuff, but I don't think anything really shocked me in there. That all, maybe Game of Thrones still being up there, like you said, would be the closest to surprise. Classic television, yeah. At this point, I guess it's fading into the process. I guess, yeah, yeah. People are still tweeting about it too. I think that surprises me even more. Yeah, totally. All right, let's check out the mail bag. We got a good one from Martin. Martin wrote in with reasons that he thinks that Snap, maker of Snapchat and others, is the stalking horse of the next platform. Martin says, I have a small amount of Snap stock, so there is that. But here are Martin's reasons that he thinks Snap is doing the right thing. Number one, Snapchat was really the first company to make the iPhone and underpowered androids do pretty good AR almost a year before both Apple and Google were able to crack that egg on commercial products. Since then, Martin says their filters tend to be the highest quality and they go viral. The anime face, if you're switching genders on a photo, that kind of thing. They're also doing this on iOS and Android at the same time. Second note, Martin says, they own Bitmoji, which is still pretty much the only one in the market for digital avatars that people use in other platforms. They've integrated into the Google keyboard, plus one of the hardest things that they managed to make your 2D custom avatar come to life in 3D, that doesn't look creepy. It's kind of fun. The third note, Martin has, is their developer outreach for use as a communication platform on Parallel. This is Twitter's new strategy, but Twitter is the problem that now the senior developers and engineer managers that were burned by Twitter are just getting started. So Martin says, I'm sure there'll be the last to put any effort on a product that relies on Twitter. Yeah, after years of Twitter burning developers, I don't think the developers are gonna jump into Twitter as enthusiastically as they might. I don't blame them. Into a snap thing, that's great. That is good analysis, Martin, thank you for this. Yeah, thank you very much. Also, if you have feedback, like Martin does, sometimes people send us audio messages and boy, we can't always roll them in the show, but we love those too. I mean, you are a smart bunch of folks. Please do send all your feedback our way. It makes for fun weekend reading. Feedback at dailytechnewshow.com. We also have a couple of brand new bosses, three to be exact, Bert McCrutchin, Davy Chan and Stan Grip. All just started backing us on Patreon. We've really been on a roll this week. We are feeling the holiday. Love everybody. Thanks, Bert. Thanks, Davy, and thanks, Stan. Ah, yeah, you guys, you're the best. Keep it coming, y'all. We wanna see who's new. We wanna see more new names tomorrow. Could be you. You might be there tomorrow. Yeah. All right, thanks to Len Peralta, who has been illustrating busily, like a little Santa's elf this entire show, Len. What have you drawn for us? Well, this is another reason why you should support Daily Tech News Show is because I can almost guarantee you that this is the only cartoon out there about Log for Jay. Santa-based Log for Jay cartooning, very small window of interest. But here it is, folks. This is a Santa Claus who actually doesn't understand that he doesn't need to give a log for Jay, get it? And he's asking, is Jay's been a good little boy? And everybody realizes nobody wants this present from Santa. That log is about to explode into his face. It's about to explode. Yes, so this is the only, DTNS is the only place on the internet where you can get a log for Jay. A holiday-themed log for Jay vulnerability poster. No one else is gonna do this, you're right. No one else, who else is gonna do that? Julie bought it for the first time today. That's right. That is part of the reason why you need to support DTNS. And also, if you're interested, you can support me at patreon, patreon.com forward slash Len. You can also get this at my online store at LenPeraltaStore.com, which, by the way, I'm still doing my custom drawing holiday cards. I have another week of that. But more importantly, I just wanna mention before, because this is gonna be my last show of the year, unfortunately, Monday night on my Twitch channel, twitch.tv, twitch.tv forward slash Len Peralta. I'm doing a show called The Draw. It's a battle royale, an art battle where I will be taking on none other than the amazing Scott Johnson. I mean, this is a dream come true. You are my two favorite artists and both of you are my good friends. And I always think about you as like, oh, there's Scott Art and there's Len Art and they're both really good. I cannot wait to see you go ahead and head on this. This is gonna be so much fun. Well, the other funny thing about this is that the judges, one of the judges is Carter, his daughter, Carter Johnson, two of the judges are my sons. Oh. You stabbed the deck. That doesn't mean that I'm gonna win. It's actually you guys watching to decide. So check it out, twitch.tv forward slash Len Peralta. Thank you so much for such a great year, guys. Oh, Len, you made our year great as well. I'm looking forward to 2022 with you guys. So thanks so much. Excellent. Someone else who made our 2021 not a total dumpster dive, Shannon Morse. Shannon, a bright light and a sea of gray. Let folks know where they can keep up with your work. You know, that's why I color my hair because I want to be a bright light when I'm talking about hacks and malicious attacks. YouTube.com slash Shannon Morse is where you can check out all of my security and privacy videos for consumers and prosumers. As of late, I did a GIFs for hackers video and I absolutely love sharing ideas for the hacker, the maker, the 3D printer, the DIYer in your life. So definitely check out that video and I will be going to CES in January. I just confirmed that. So I hope to see you there. Woo-hoo. Yeah, some of us from DTNS will be there. You guys can all eat the great food and let us know how good it was. We're live on, it's free. That's why it's good. We're live on the show Monday through Friday. It's 430 PM Eastern. If you can join us, please do. By the way, that's 2130 UTC. Find out more at dailytechnewshow.com slash live. We're gonna relax over the weekend but we'll be back at it on Monday with Nicole Lee.
