Decoding Process: ZXhwYW5zeXM= to expansys

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "ZXhwYW5zeXM=" 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
h	100001	33
w	110000	48
Y	011000	24
W	010110	22
5	111001	57
z	110011	51
e	011110	30
X	010111	23
M	001100	12
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100101 01111000 01110000 01100001 01101110 01110011 01111001 01110011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100101	e
01111000	x
01110000	p
01100001	a
01101110	n
01110011	s
01111001	y
01110011	s
00

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