Decoding Process: b2JzZXNzZWQ= to obsessed

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "b2JzZXNzZWQ=" 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
b	011011	27
2	110110	54
J	001001	9
z	110011	51
Z	011001	25
X	010111	23
N	001101	13
z	110011	51
Z	011001	25
W	010110	22
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101111 01100010 01110011 01100101 01110011 01110011 01100101 01100100 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101111	o
01100010	b
01110011	s
01100101	e
01110011	s
01110011	s
01100101	e
01100100	d
00

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