Decoding Process: Ymx1bnQ= to blunt

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "Ymx1bnQ=" 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
m	100110	38
x	110001	49
1	110101	53
b	011011	27
n	100111	39
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100010 01101100 01110101 01101110 01110100 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100010	b
01101100	l
01110101	u
01101110	n
01110100	t
00

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