Yes, binary grep is possible on a Linux system with the help of the 'grep' command. The 'grep' command is a powerful tool used to search for text patterns in files. It can also search for binary data if the '-a' or '--text' option is used. Without the '-a' option, the grep command may treat binary files as non-printable characters, making it difficult to search for a specific pattern. Therefore, including the '-a' or '--text' option is recommended when searching for binary patterns with grep.
