Decoding Process: bGFuZGxvcmQ= to landlord

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "bGFuZGxvcmQ=" 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
G	000110	6
F	000101	5
u	101110	46
Z	011001	25
G	000110	6
x	110001	49
v	101111	47
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101100 01100001 01101110 01100100 01101100 01101111 01110010 01100100 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101100	l
01100001	a
01101110	n
01100100	d
01101100	l
01101111	o
01110010	r
01100100	d
00

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