Decoding Process: cGx1bWJpbmc= to plumbing

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cGx1bWJpbmc=" 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
x	110001	49
1	110101	53
b	011011	27
W	010110	22
J	001001	9
p	101001	41
b	011011	27
m	100110	38
c	011100	28
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01101100 01110101 01101101 01100010 01101001 01101110 01100111 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01101100	l
01110101	u
01101101	m
01100010	b
01101001	i
01101110	n
01100111	g
00

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