hello
is there anyway to change source code for pp in windows and compile ? how to compile it in windows
when i try and compile in windows it says pp.c(12): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'getopt.h': No such file or directory

No, we only compile on linux

you could try to compile pp under windows with cygwin or wsl

see readme for compiling hashcat under windows to get an idea

https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/blob/master/BUILD.md

but i think the max pw length is set to hashcats max pw length, so changing this would result in passwords which are skipped by hashcat
