Decoding Process: ZXZhbnN2aWxsZQ== to evansville

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "ZXZhbnN2aWxsZQ==" 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
X	010111	23
Z	011001	25
h	100001	33
b	011011	27
n	100111	39
N	001101	13
2	110110	54
a	011010	26
W	010110	22
x	110001	49
s	101100	44
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):

01100101 01110110 01100001 01101110 01110011 01110110 01101001 01101100 01101100 01100101 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100101	e
01110110	v
01100001	a
01101110	n
01110011	s
01110110	v
01101001	i
01101100	l
01101100	l
01100101	e
0000

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