Decoding Process: YXVkaW9zbGF2ZQ== to audioslave

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "YXVkaW9zbGF2ZQ==" 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
X	010111	23
V	010101	21
k	100100	36
a	011010	26
W	010110	22
9	111101	61
z	110011	51
b	011011	27
G	000110	6
F	000101	5
2	110110	54
Z	011001	25
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100001 01110101 01100100 01101001 01101111 01110011 01101100 01100001 01110110 01100101 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100001	a
01110101	u
01100100	d
01101001	i
01101111	o
01110011	s
01101100	l
01100001	a
01110110	v
01100101	e
0000

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