Decoding Process: YmxvY2tidXN0ZXI= to blockbuster

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "YmxvY2tidXN0ZXI=" 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
v	101111	47
Y	011000	24
2	110110	54
t	101101	45
i	100010	34
d	011101	29
X	010111	23
N	001101	13
0	110100	52
Z	011001	25
X	010111	23
I	001000	8
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100010 01101100 01101111 01100011 01101011 01100010 01110101 01110011 01110100 01100101 01110010 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100010	b
01101100	l
01101111	o
01100011	c
01101011	k
01100010	b
01110101	u
01110011	s
01110100	t
01100101	e
01110010	r
00

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