My landlord has a small lot with a house she bought in Arizona for an investment.
She has a toshiba laptop with intel wireless and there are tons of wireless
signals around but they are all protected. She dosen't want to break in but
just borrow one to access the internet. There is no phone line to the house
to use dialup. She knows that there are alot of drug related people living
in that area and figures thats why they are all encreypted. She would like
internet use when she is out there checking up on things. So that is the
" Illegal / Imoral " part of it. I have found software to generate wep codes
and what not but nothing simple enough for her to use.

If you/she want to 'borrow' a wireless signal from a neighbor, why not just ask for their permission?
Asking for help to do something illegal on any public forum is frowned upon simply for the fact that it is illegal. If someone here were to give you that information, Anandtech could be held responsible for any criminal activities (breaking in to someone else's network without permission is a criminal act, even if it is 'just' a home wireless network) you performed with that information.
I can understand that she might want to make use of an existing connection, particularly with no phone line in the house, but is the risk really worth it? Particularly when she could probably get a phone line, or even a dedicated broadband DSL or Cable connection installed there with very little difficulty. (If the neighbors have it, she should be able to get it, too.)

I don't think it's a good idea either but the people around her house are not the
type that you would want to deal with. Like I said they are people involved
in the drug trade in one form or another which explains why every single
signal is encyrepted. I personaly would not have bought the property but
the land values are going up by leaps and bounds.
Anyway, sorry for the stupid post.
Now that I'm thinking of it she can use her cell phone to connect to the
internet with duk-5 usb adapter connected to her laptop.
It may be slow but atleast it's legal.
Problem solved.

no sh*t. "Hey, I don't want to ask the dangerous criminals permission to use their network. I think I'll just steal it" REALLY good logic there.
Have her look into satellite internet. There is a cap issue but bi-directional satellite would still work fairly well. Should be fast enough unless she games.

Funny! 😀
I have a very poor neighbor and Wireless internet. It's encrypted to the Max. They asked me nicely and since I live in a Duplex, I ran a Cat-5 cable to him. So far no issues. He does everything I tell him to do as far as securing his system and running Firefox.
