strange to hear tt XIXEI X7 unable to decode card MiFare Classic 1k
as to connect via USB to PC & using Program - “nfcPro_x64_2025-03-11.exe”
(web-site at inner SD disk XIXEI once connected to PC)
easy do decoding by attacks:
-Nested
-Dark-Side
-Sector
PS: myself open brace
let-fitness with 2 Keys-A & B
as well copied to magic bracelet MF-3.2
Hi all,
First visit and post to DT.
So glad this thread (and forum) exists as Ive been having the same issues as @Itookill7 .
I have the Xeixei X& also - purchased from Alibaba. It seems to read things quite well but its the copying that sometimes has the issue. I have explored the Proxmark3 but integrating that with a macbook pro seems way above my knowledge despite watching tonnes of YouTube videos on it.
Small tip for anyone that has limited computer technical skills as I do, you can purchase the PM3 from Alibaba with the latest Iceman software/firmware (whichever one it is) preinstalled on it if that helps. This is why I purchases the XEIXEI - X7. Half way there but hoping someone can help me write the fob.
@Andr705 you may be able to help as I see you have the similar software… I hope so anyway 
The fob I am trying to copy is a 13.56 Mifare Classic 1k. The X7 has recognised it but seems to be having difficulty replicating it - even though I have found a compatible fob.
Q: Is there anyway as a Mac or IOS user (phone and laptop) I can access this software (or a similar one) to help me to complete the replication process.
Or any other workarounds other than purchasing $200-300 devices would be greatly appreciated. The X7 was like $50 and I feel I am so close as its read the fob but just having difficulty cloning.
Thank you all in advance and @Itookill7 I hope you managed to crack the code!
Picture of where I got to attached…
The Proxmark3 Easy that DT sells comes with the Iceman firmware preinstalled and it’s a version that is known to be compatible with the 
repeater boards. The DT one is what I’d recommend getting to anyone looking into getting an implant.
Why are you messing around with that XEIXEI thing?
Pilgrim might need to have a word with his younger siblings…
Hey @enginerd
Thanks for the reply. Not sure what half that message means as Im not in with the tech lingo but i’ll do my best. The XEIXEI X7 was like $40 and you press one button to read and one to write. There is some software that comes with it to increase capability but you need a windows laptop or android phone - which I found out after and thus needing a workaround.
The PM3 does seem to be the most comprehensive (and well reviewed) but requires you to start typing in lines of code - which is defo not my area of expertise. Flipper looked good and also the iCopy XS but that was like $500 which I donty have the budget for sadly 
Have read the fob - just need to write to the new fob…
(DT, Pig, Chilli, Implant?) Sorry completely new to this!
Can you provide info on this fob?
Link etc.
Can you also show a picture of what you XieXie “sees” when you scan the compatiable fob?
We need to make sure the card actually is compatiable otherwise we will never be able to write to it
Do you have 2 of the “compatiable” fobs?
Can you write from one to the other?
So far you have simply read a card, which is technically half way to writing, BUT even your phone can read it, but it cant write to it (as in clone)
Writing is the more tricky part.
They are made to be read, but can be written to…if that makes sense
Everybody will try to convince you to get a PM3, just because it works.
It may be intimidating, but we can walk you through it.
In theory your XieXie should work, there is just limited experience with it.
If your card you are reading has encryption, thats where your XieXie may fail.
can you scroll down an see if there are any squares with

and is referring to MFGC Repeater stickers
Hi danelliot
unfo , doubt tt able to find Programm for XIXEI-X7 for Mac or IOS
there are two website but both for Win:
Such mode (without Comp programm) doubt tt all sectors of MF-1k read correctly and Keys found..
better to get Win-Comp and use programm “nfcPro_x64_2025-03-11.exe” to decode key(s) at Original …. might be failed…
I’ve got Key-A from Reader by Flipper-Zero and than use it at XIXEI-X7 for one card
but decoded for another by Comp-Win-Xixei-Programm …
better to get PM3 and use under Win-10
install ProxSpace & Compile New-Version Client
than by using scrips it will be easy to decode Key(s):
[usb] pm3 → script run fm11rf08s_recovery.py
or
[usb] pm3 → script run fm11rf08s_full.py
to Install Firmware & ProxSpace:
Download: https://github.com/Gator96100/ProxSpace/releases/download/v3.11/ProxSpace.7z
Extract Files from Archive
Run “runme64.bat”
copy GIT
git clone GitHub - RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3: Iceman Fork - Proxmark3 · GitHub
Command: cd proxmark3
Command: cp Makefile.platform.sample Makefile.platform
open file to correct:
Command: notepad Makefile.platform
Replace:
PLATFORM=PM3RDV4
#PLATFORM=PM3GENERIC
by
#PLATFORM=PM3RDV4
PLATFORM=PM3GENERIC
to add:
LED_ORDER=PM3EASY
than put card to Proxmark3 and start script as above
u will hv dump file wrote and to see at Terminal either Key(s) found and all data read
i.e. files keys & dump wrote after finish script:
+] Found keys have been dumped to C:\ProxSpace\pm3/hf-mf-D4E97A49-key.bin
[+] Generating final dump file
[+] Data has been dumped to C:\ProxSpace\pm3/hf-mf-D4E97A49-dump.bin
than to write dump to Clone with writable UID
I used MF-3.2
clone the dump to a new card :
[usb] pm3 → hf mf restore --1k --uid D4E97A49 -k hf-mf-D4E97A49-key.bin
goodluck ..
Also, is this just a one and done?
I am assuming you cant simply enroll an new card / fob.
Where are you located?
Can you part with your original card for a little while.
There might be somebody you could send it to that could do the cloning process for you?
or potentially meet up at a local bar and they could do it there, maybe for the price of a beer 
Hello Team,
Firstly - thank you all for taking the time to respond to me I really appreciate it. So - some potential good news. The XIXEI X7-1 device I have has managed to read and write to a new fob. I needed to get a very specific fob which I purchased from this guy at £1 a fob 13.56 RFID fobs.
I will be testing this afternoon at the apartment but it appears to have copied ok so I will keep you posted. I have linked the device and fobs here for those that were interested/curious (im not a seller or affiliate or anything btw) and if you need me to test anything on it for any of your benefits I’d be more than happy to do so. Fingers crossed!
this listing doesn’t mention the UID being changeable so I doubt these will work.
if you want some gen2 to write to via your phone I’ll send you some if you’re in the UK like your messages suggest.
Morning all,
You were indeed correct. The copy by the XIXEI did not actually work as you anticipated @Pilgrimsmaster @Equipter so Im guessing the only way really is by obtaining a PM3 and trying to get that to work with Mac. I have actually seen a YouTube video where a guy is using it with Mac. Andr705 - thank you for providing all that info also
Before I do go ahead and purchase the PM3 - if any of you have any other tools or suggestions of a device or method thats under £50 (the price of the PM3 currently) do let me know. If I can post any other images that can help do let me know. Attached is the picture of what the XIXEI read and what I need copied. I have the correct fob just not the device to embed the code to the new fob. Or at least it looks as though its copied it correctly when I read it again but it doesnt work on the door entry.
@Equipter yes Im in the UK and have an iPhone and Mac unfortunately if that helps… did you mean the UID not being rewritable from the device or the fobs not being listed as UID rewritable?
Strangely when I read the new copied fob on the XIXIE it is now displaying the same UID as the original fob but it just doesnt work. I think this is the same issue that Itookill7 was having at the start of this thread also… reads correct but does not actually work in testing…
Thank you all!
I have a mac sadly think I need to use something called Homebrew
I just found this on the front of one of the original fobs… so even though I copied to a 13.56 1k Mifare Tag it still doesnt work… I think I need to dig deeper into this encryption maybe? This is what Chat GPT came up with:
“This is a MIFARE Classic 1K with a 4-byte UID. The system is UID-based. You need a UID-changeable (magic) card so you can clone the UID, not just the data.”
