o if you guys didn’t know, what’s a base 64 means  
encoding scheme used to represent binary data  
is an encoding method, not encryption. It provides no security or confidentiality

and it Splits those 24 bits into 4 groups of 6 bits each. and a data looks repetitive or full of capital As

encodes every 6 bits of binary data into one character

So however, there is a big problem. Do not open it on the notepad.Because it gonna crash the notepad and it shows not responding.
