Decoding Process: ZmFicmljYXRlZA== to fabricated

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "ZmFicmljYXRlZA==" 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
m	100110	38
F	000101	5
i	100010	34
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
l	100101	37
j	100011	35
Y	011000	24
X	010111	23
R	010001	17
l	100101	37
Z	011001	25
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):

01100110 01100001 01100010 01110010 01101001 01100011 01100001 01110100 01100101 01100100 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100110	f
01100001	a
01100010	b
01110010	r
01101001	i
01100011	c
01100001	a
01110100	t
01100101	e
01100100	d
0000

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