Decoding Process: dG9ybmFkbw== to tornado

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "dG9ybmFkbw==" 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
G	000110	6
9	111101	61
y	110010	50
b	011011	27
m	100110	38
F	000101	5
k	100100	36
b	011011	27
w	110000	48
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110100 01101111 01110010 01101110 01100001 01100100 01101111 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110100	t
01101111	o
01110010	r
01101110	n
01100001	a
01100100	d
01101111	o
0000

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