The challenge name uses "shock value" to distract the user, but the technical requirement is . If you find yourself clicking "Extract Here" more than twice in a CTF, it's time to write a script.
In this specific challenge, the file is often revealed to be a ZIP archive or a nested series of archives, despite the RAR naming. 2. Dealing with Nesting (The "Matryoshka" Effect)
Once the final layer is reached, you are typically left with a text file or an image.
