Decoding Process: bHltcGg= to lymph

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "bHltcGg=" 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
H	000111	7
l	100101	37
t	101101	45
c	011100	28
G	000110	6
g	100000	32
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101100 01111001 01101101 01110000 01101000 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101100	l
01111001	y
01101101	m
01110000	p
01101000	h
00

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