About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "c291dGhhbXB0b24=" 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
c	011100	28
2	110110	54
9	111101	61
1	110101	53
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
h	100001	33
h	100001	33
b	011011	27
X	010111	23
B	000001	1
0	110100	52
b	011011	27
2	110110	54
4	111000	56
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110011 01101111 01110101 01110100 01101000 01100001 01101101 01110000 01110100 01101111 01101110 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110011	s
01101111	o
01110101	u
01110100	t
01101000	h
01100001	a
01101101	m
01110000	p
01110100	t
01101111	o
01101110	n
00

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