Decoding Process: dGh1bmRlcg== to thunder

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "dGh1bmRlcg==" 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
h	100001	33
1	110101	53
b	011011	27
m	100110	38
R	010001	17
l	100101	37
c	011100	28
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):

01110100 01101000 01110101 01101110 01100100 01100101 01110010 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110100	t
01101000	h
01110101	u
01101110	n
01100100	d
01100101	e
01110010	r
0000

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