Decoding Process: b3J0aG9kb3g= to orthodox

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "b3J0aG9kb3g=" 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
3	110111	55
J	001001	9
0	110100	52
a	011010	26
G	000110	6
9	111101	61
k	100100	36
b	011011	27
3	110111	55
g	100000	32
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101111 01110010 01110100 01101000 01101111 01100100 01101111 01111000 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101111	o
01110010	r
01110100	t
01101000	h
01101111	o
01100100	d
01101111	o
01111000	x
00

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