The poster is learning penetration testing primarily through TryHackMe, focusing on the Junior Pentester path, and supplementing with CTFs. They seek to improve in specific areas like Windows privilege escalation, Active Directory (AD), and web app pentesting but struggle to find CTFs that align with individual skills. Their current approach involves learning a topic and then practicing it in CTFs, though they feel they lack depth in specific techniques before moving on. They ask for advice on whether to continue with broad CTF practice or adopt a more targeted strategy.
