VerifiedWeb Application Penetration Testing Methodology

An organization has deployed a web application that uses an encoding technique before transmitting data over the Internet. This technique helps the organization hide confidential data, such as user credentials and email attachments, while in transit. It takes 3 bytes of binary data and splits them into four 6-bit chunks. Each chunk is then encoded as its respective printable character.

Identify the encoding technique used by the organization?

Explanation

Base64 encoding processes 24 bits (3 bytes) at a time as four 6-bit groups, each represented by a printable character from the Base64 alphabet.
