Encoding Process: catastrophic to Y2F0YXN0cm9waGlj

Step 1: Map ASCII Characters to Binary

ASCII CharacterBinary Value
c01100011
a01100001
t01110100
a01100001
s01110011
t01110100
r01110010
o01101111
p01110000
h01101000
i01101001
c01100011

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

The binary string is grouped into 6-bit chunks for Base64 encoding:

011000 110110 000101 110100 011000 010111 001101 110100 011100 100110 111101 110000 011010 000110 100101 100011

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

1111019
110000w
011010a
000110G
