Subject: MAX_PATH is 260 chars not 248

So close...

Thanks to the programmer who wrote CreateDirectoryA() I can't exploit a 
buffer overflow.

"There is a default string size limit for paths of 248 characters. This 
limit is related to how the CreateDirectory function parses paths."

God damn. MAX_PATH is 260 chars you lazy bum!!!

I need 8 more bytes in the path to exploit it.

Maybe I should report this as a bug to MS so they can fix it and make my 
exploit work? :D
