Decoding Process: bXl0aHM= to myths

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "bXl0aHM=" 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
X	010111	23
l	100101	37
0	110100	52
a	011010	26
H	000111	7
M	001100	12
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101101 01111001 01110100 01101000 01110011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101101	m
01111001	y
01110100	t
01101000	h
01110011	s
00

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