Decoding Process: cGhhbnRvbW5vZGU= to phantomnode

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cGhhbnRvbW5vZGU=" 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
h	100001	33
h	100001	33
b	011011	27
n	100111	39
R	010001	17
v	101111	47
b	011011	27
W	010110	22
5	111001	57
v	101111	47
Z	011001	25
G	000110	6
U	010100	20
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01101000 01100001 01101110 01110100 01101111 01101101 01101110 01101111 01100100 01100101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01101000	h
01100001	a
01101110	n
01110100	t
01101111	o
01101101	m
01101110	n
01101111	o
01100100	d
01100101	e
00

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