Decoding Process: dmlydXM= to virus

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "dmlydXM=" 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
m	100110	38
l	100101	37
y	110010	50
d	011101	29
X	010111	23
M	001100	12
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110110 01101001 01110010 01110101 01110011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110110	v
01101001	i
01110010	r
01110101	u
01110011	s
00

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