Decoding Process: ZHVzaw== to dusk

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "ZHVzaw==" 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
Z	011001	25
H	000111	7
V	010101	21
z	110011	51
a	011010	26
w	110000	48
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100100 01110101 01110011 01101011 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100100	d
01110101	u
01110011	s
01101011	k
0000

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