[ale] Binary Grep

Does anyone know of a grep like tool that works for binary files?

In particular, I have a binary file I want to find all occurrances of
16 hex FF chars in a row.

ie.    0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF,
0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF

It would be great if it also provided some surrounding detail, but at
a minimum I need the offset in the file.

Thanks
Greg
