Hey Aleksey, very nice write-up. Thanks for posting it.

I ran into the symmetric PGP file false-positives as well and found that
if you check the return code and that the output file is not zero byte,
then you won't have false-positives. Not ideal, but it works. Here's an
example:
#!/bin/bash
# A script to brute-force symmetric PGP/GPG files
# Gets about 285 words per second on my laptop
# usage: gpg.sh file.gpg
file=$1
out=gpg.txt
for word in $(wm --low --words /home/rbt/words/common.txt); do
echo "${word}" && echo -n "${word}" | gpg -d --passphrase-fd=0 --no-tty
$file > $out;
# if gpg returns 0 and if the output is more than 0 bytes, then stop
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
if [ -s $out ]; then
echo "GOT IT: ${word}";
exit 0;
fi
fi
done;
exit 1;
