Decoding Process: cm9ja3dlbGw= to rockwell

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cm9ja3dlbGw=" 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
m	100110	38
9	111101	61
j	100011	35
a	011010	26
3	110111	55
d	011101	29
l	100101	37
b	011011	27
G	000110	6
w	110000	48
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110010 01101111 01100011 01101011 01110111 01100101 01101100 01101100 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110010	r
01101111	o
01100011	c
01101011	k
01110111	w
01100101	e
01101100	l
01101100	l
00

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