12PS > [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetString([System.Convert]::FromBase64String("SGVsbG9Xb3JsZCE=")) blahblahPerl
12use MIME::Base64; print decode_base64("SGVsbG9Xb3JsZCE=");BASH
1echo SGVsbG9Xb3JsZCE= | base64 --decodephp
1echo base64_decode("SGVsbG9Xb3JsZCE=");C#
12byte[] data = Convert.FromBase64String("SGVsbG9Xb3JsZCE=");… Continue reading
