About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "aGlsZmlnZXI=" 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
a	011010	26
G	000110	6
l	100101	37
s	101100	44
Z	011001	25
m	100110	38
l	100101	37
n	100111	39
Z	011001	25
X	010111	23
I	001000	8
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101000 01101001 01101100 01100110 01101001 01100111 01100101 01110010 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101000	h
01101001	i
01101100	l
01100110	f
01101001	i
01100111	g
01100101	e
01110010	r
00

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