About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "aW5oaWJpdA==" 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
W	010110	22
5	111001	57
o	101000	40
a	011010	26
W	010110	22
J	001001	9
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):

01101001 01101110 01101000 01101001 01100010 01101001 01110100 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101001	i
01101110	n
01101000	h
01101001	i
01100010	b
01101001	i
01110100	t
0000

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