Base64 is type of encoding ASCII, just like hex and binary.

We can decode it in several ways:

In Linux:

echo "S1JZUFRPTklTR1JFQVQ=" | base64 -d

Or with cyberchef:

Or by writing simple python3 script:

import base64  
  
Encoded_String = "S1JZUFRPTklTR1JFQVQ="  
Decoded_String = base64.b64decode(Encoded_String).decode()  
  
print(Decoded_String)

So here is the password for the first user, and we will authenticate with ssh:

ssh <User>@<IP> -p <Port>
	<Password>
ssh krypton1@krypton.labs.overthewire.org -p 2231
	<Password>
