Decoding Process: ZXhwbG9pdA== to exploit

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "ZXhwbG9pdA==" 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
b	011011	27
G	000110	6
9	111101	61
p	101001	41
d	011101	29
A	000000	0
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100101 01111000 01110000 01101100 01101111 01101001 01110100 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100101	e
01111000	x
01110000	p
01101100	l
01101111	o
01101001	i
01110100	t
0000

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