Decoding Process: cGhlbnRlcm1pbmU= to phentermine

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cGhlbnRlcm1pbmU=" 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
l	100101	37
b	011011	27
n	100111	39
R	010001	17
l	100101	37
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
1	110101	53
p	101001	41
b	011011	27
m	100110	38
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 01100101 01101110 01110100 01100101 01110010 01101101 01101001 01101110 01100101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01101000	h
01100101	e
01101110	n
01110100	t
01100101	e
01110010	r
01101101	m
01101001	i
01101110	n
01100101	e
00

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