The document is pay-walled :-(. I have asked the authors (sent
multiple emails) for a copy of the paper and source code but no luck.

However, GPG secret key cracking is described in the thesis document
of one of the authors (no mention of any public source code however).
Link : http://phd.di.uniroma1.it/thesis/bisson.pdf (contains lot of
details about GPG cracking)
