Decoding Process: Y2FybGlzbGU= to carlisle

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "Y2FybGlzbGU=" 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
y	110010	50
b	011011	27
G	000110	6
l	100101	37
z	110011	51
b	011011	27
G	000110	6
U	010100	20
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100011 01100001 01110010 01101100 01101001 01110011 01101100 01100101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100011	c
01100001	a
01110010	r
01101100	l
01101001	i
01110011	s
01101100	l
01100101	e
00

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