A Simple Hacker Riddle

[AdmiralBeotch]

Read these words to fulfill your query, And be done with this puzzle, so tired and dreary. Seek a method that encodes a stream, and ends with it's equal, so it seems.

[AdmiralBeotch]

The answer is here so you may not be toiled, But kept ironically obsure, so for others not spoiled.

Sorry to appear anal, but in riddles like this, details matter.

Did you mean "it's" or did you mean "its" ??

[AdmiralBeotch]
