Decoding Process: cG9ybm9ncmFwaHk= to pornography

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cG9ybm9ncmFwaHk=" 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
G	000110	6
9	111101	61
y	110010	50
b	011011	27
m	100110	38
9	111101	61
n	100111	39
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
F	000101	5
w	110000	48
a	011010	26
H	000111	7
k	100100	36
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01101111 01110010 01101110 01101111 01100111 01110010 01100001 01110000 01101000 01111001 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01101111	o
01110010	r
01101110	n
01101111	o
01100111	g
01110010	r
01100001	a
01110000	p
01101000	h
01111001	y
00

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