Decoding Process: bWNrZW56aWU= to mckenzie

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "bWNrZW56aWU=" 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
W	010110	22
N	001101	13
r	101011	43
Z	011001	25
W	010110	22
5	111001	57
6	111010	58
a	011010	26
W	010110	22
U	010100	20
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101101 01100011 01101011 01100101 01101110 01111010 01101001 01100101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101101	m
01100011	c
01101011	k
01100101	e
01101110	n
01111010	z
01101001	i
01100101	e
00

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