Decoding Process: b3ZlcmRvc2U= to overdose

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "b3ZlcmRvc2U=" 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
Z	011001	25
l	100101	37
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
R	010001	17
v	101111	47
c	011100	28
2	110110	54
U	010100	20
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101111 01110110 01100101 01110010 01100100 01101111 01110011 01100101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101111	o
01110110	v
01100101	e
01110010	r
01100100	d
01101111	o
01110011	s
01100101	e
00

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