Decoding Process: d2lsbGlhbXNvbg== to williamson

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "d2lsbGlhbXNvbg==" 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
d	011101	29
2	110110	54
l	100101	37
s	101100	44
b	011011	27
G	000110	6
l	100101	37
h	100001	33
b	011011	27
X	010111	23
N	001101	13
v	101111	47
b	011011	27
g	100000	32
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110111 01101001 01101100 01101100 01101001 01100001 01101101 01110011 01101111 01101110 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110111	w
01101001	i
01101100	l
01101100	l
01101001	i
01100001	a
01101101	m
01110011	s
01101111	o
01101110	n
0000

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