Oh my $@! How STUPID CAN YOU BE?! HOW DENSE?! Again, what I said 
was...oh, I see what you're saying.

If that's the case, I don't know of a tool that is made specifically for 
brute forcing a GPG-encrypted file (he's probably need to know what 
algorithm was used too).

There must be a way to create a script that would try it, though. But 
that would also mean you need to know that the output is the legitimate 
material and not gibberish before trying the next one, I would think.

Probably not easy to code or script just for this task, though.
