A subscriber asked me to cover the subject of base64 encoding because she has seen it in a few Capture The Flag events. So in this video, we are going to explore what base64 encoding is, why it is used, and the tools available to encode and decode with bsae64. In this episode, I am also trying something different. I am going to have my AImee and AIdan help me with narrating the show. Write me in the Comments section below to let me know how they did.
