Usually, the final goal is a string like CTF... found inside one of the extracted files.

Check for hidden comments or coordinates in images inside the archive using exiftool .

If you can tell me which CTF platform (like TryHackMe, HackTheBox, or a specific university lab) this is from, I can give you the exact steps and solution.

Run file Tulips.rar to confirm it is indeed a RAR archive.

Run binwalk -e Tulips.rar to see if there are other files appended to the end of the archive (steganography).
