Decoding Process: Y2FiaW5ldHM= to cabinets

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "Y2FiaW5ldHM=" is padding. Base64 encoding requires the input length to be divisible by 4. When it's not, '=' characters are added as padding. These padding characters are represented as '000000' in binary but are not used in the final decoded output.

Step 1: Map Base64 Characters to Binary

Base64 Character	Binary Value	Decimal Value
Y	011000	24
2	110110	54
F	000101	5
i	100010	34
a	011010	26
W	010110	22
5	111001	57
l	100101	37
d	011101	29
H	000111	7
M	001100	12
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

The binary string is grouped into 8-bit chunks (1 byte each):

01100011 01100001 01100010 01101001 01101110 01100101 01110100 01110011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100011	c
01100001	a
01100010	b
01101001	i
01101110	n
01100101	e
01110100	t
01110011	s
00

When combined, these characters form the decoded string: "cabinets"
